With a tightly curated selection of masterpieces, Christie’s The exceptional sale is an auction you don’t want to miss. It has the works and the camera of Hollywood’s most famous photographer Douglas Kirkland’s — the one who took the last professional shots of Marilyn Monroe, just a year ahead of her tragic death. Alexandra Kindermann, Senior Director Communications, Christie’s EMERI and Israel says, "The auction offers one super rare lot, amongst other prized collection: There is Kirkland’s Hassleblad 500C camera dating from 1959 with additional lenses and photos taken with this camera. The two limited-edition archival prints of the Marilyn (overhead) and Marilyn (hugging pillow) photographs were taken at the pinnacle of her career by the Master of Photography of that time."
