Sam Shaw – Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Year Itch, New York 1955
This famous photograph of Marilyn Monroe was taken by photographer Sam Shaw during the filming of Billy Wilder’s The Seven Year Itch. The image captures the scene that went down in history, in which the actress’s white dress billows above a subway grate on Lexington Avenue in New York. It is one of the most iconic images in cinema and twentieth-century pop culture.
Aesthetically, the work embodies the essence of Marilyn Monroe’s legend: sensuality, lightness, and charisma, combined with the spontaneity that made her an everlasting cinema icon. The composition, with the dress in motion and the actress’s radiant smile, conveys the energy of a scene that forever shaped the collective imagination.
In an interior design setting, this poster makes a strong visual and cultural statement. Perfect for modern, metropolitan spaces, it immediately evokes glamour and cinema history. In minimalist spaces, it becomes the room’s focal point, while in more classic interiors it adds a touch of timeless elegance and lightness.
All our posters are printed on the original substrate, in the original edition and format.
These details are essential for distinguishing an authentic print from an unauthorized copy.
