Description from the seller
Sam Shaw – Marilyn Monroe, New York 1957
In this iconic shot, taken by photographer Sam Shaw, Marilyn Monroe appears smiling and carefree as she leans over from the edge of a New York City rooftop. The aerial view of the city contrasts with the diva's natural ease, conveying elegance and a sense of freshness.
The photograph belongs to one of the famous New York sessions that helped fix Marilyn's glamorous image, not only as a sex symbol but as a universal symbol of allure and modernity. The radiant face and the spontaneous pose reveal Shaw's ability to capture the star's most authentic essence.
From a decorative standpoint, the poster is perfectly suited for living rooms with a modern taste, urban lofts, and environments in vintage-industrial style. With its balance between urbanity and a pop icon, it gives spaces a refined touch and, at the same time, a cinematic feel.
All our posters are printed on support, in the original edition and format.
