Gerry Badger - Marilyn by Magnum - 2012

Charming illustrated edition of this book devoted to the photographic representation of Marilyn Monroe through the eyes of several Magnum Photos photographers, and more broadly to the way in which a female figure who became a world icon can be interpreted, constructed and transformed by photography -

The book focuses on Marilyn Monroe not only as an actress and celebrity, but as an exceptional photographic subject whose image has been continually shaped by cameras, photographers, studios, the media, and the public gaze -

Gerry Badger, writer, critic and photography historian, organizes this reflection around a set of photographs taken by Magnum-associated photographers, allowing contrasting different visions of Marilyn and showing that there is no single representation of the star -
