"Marilyn, the last sitting", an unprecedent photography exhibition at DS World Paris starting on 8 june 2017

DS World Paris is hosting the "Marilyn, The Last Sitting" exhibition from 8 June 2017 to 6 January 2018.

The session took place in Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles in 1962 over two days and one night, consisting of three long photo shoots by Bert Stern for Vogue magazine. The photographer took a total 2,571 pictures; the 59 most emblematic are on show at #ds World Paris.

The #event is proposed by Olivier Lorquin, curator of the exhibition and chairman of Musée Maillol, and staged by Hubert Le Gall. It will plunge visitors into a world of glamour, truth and emotion, alongside #ds models from the current collection as well as a rare #ds 21 Cabriolet US Export from September 1966.

For Julien Faux, Director of #ds World Paris, the "Marilyn, The Last Sitting" exhibition is "a way of keeping alive the legend of this extraordinary woman, who was ahead of her time. It is also a perfect opportunity for drawing parallels between the timelessness of this artist, who has since become an icon, with the spirit of avant-garde of the current models in the #ds collection, descended directly from the #ds, another icon of the 20th century."  

The exhibition is showing at #ds World Paris at 33 rue François 1erin Paris. Free admission.
