Marilyn Monroe by Eve Arnold Special-Edition Bundle

Originally released in 1987, the classic book Marilyn Monroe: An Appreciation is now redesigned and reissued in the highest modern quality, featuring a blend of classic and newly discovered images of the legendary star. With intimate and candid shots accompanied by a detailed biography in Eve Arnold’s own words, Marilyn Monroe: An Appreciation showcases the star in moments both public and private, amounting to a moving and personal meditation on a superstar’s life and legacy.

This special-edition bundle is accompanied by an 8”x11” print of Marilyn Monroe, taken by Eve Arnold on the set of ‘The Misfits’ in 1960, and printed by fine-art printer and restorer Danny Pope, whose work Arnold personally endorsed. The book is signed by Michael Arnold, the late photographer’s grandson and custodian of her estate.

Behind The Image

A word about the printer Danny Pope is the founder of Matchless Prints Ltd, and the first printer to use the "painting with light" method on Polapan transparencies, which revolutionised colour prints and influenced colour photography's rise. Central to his process is premium archival paper, and his proprietary "spot varnished" finish. Bridging traditional and digital methods, he visualises grain as essential, and controls light and colour meticulously. Danny clones grain digitally, preserving details to prevent shadows and highlight distortion. He prioritises restoration, creating "straight prints" while maintaining authenticity and the photographers' vision. His large format digital prints push boundaries, infusing images with life, adding dimension and emotion, and elevating photographs beyond their stillness.

About the Artist

Eve Arnold, born in 1912 to Russian-immigrant parents in Philadelphia, began her photography career in 1946 while working at a photo-finishing plant in New York City. She pursued formal photography education in 1948 with Alexey Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research in New York. Her association with Magnum Photos began in 1951; she became a full member in 1957. 

Arnold is well known for her intimate portraits of Hollywood stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford and Angelica Huston. She also reported on the women's rights movement, the civil rights movement in America, and the lives of working people all over the world. Robert Capa, co-founder of Magnum Photos, described Eve’s work as “Falling between Marlene Dietrich's legs and the bitter lives of migratory potato pickers.”
