Lot Essay

'In 1962 Leif-Erik Nygards was assisting Bert Stern on what became the famous "Last Sitting" with Marilyn Monroe. After several days of shooting Stern walked off the set leaving a recumbent Monroe alone with his handsome young assistant. Without being asked Marilyn removed the sheet that been partially covering her and let Nygards take this one shot.' - J.D.
