More than 300 biographies, documentaries, films, theatrical events, products with her image, trashy tell alls and photographs are just a few of the never ending tribute to Marilyn. Her enormous fan base spans all generations. This lot of memorabilia documents her path to stardom from triumph to tragedy. One of the most valuable pieces in this listing is a framed book ad -  Marilyn Monroe Confidential. The previous owner listed this piece on their Bankruptcy Petitions and Schedules form with a value of $10,000.00. While attending a 1999 episode of Antique Roadshow, an appraiser from Sothebys told the previous owner that this was a rare and highly sought after piece, known as an Industrial Art Foil. Simon & Schuster (book publisher) appears in the bottom right hand corner and Photo: Camera Press/Feingersh is in the bottom left corner. For a week in 1955, Ed Feingersh (photographer) was on assignment for Redbook Magazine and took photos of Marilyn in New York City. Decades after his death, the negatives were found in a warehouse, and have since been seen in many published works.  As this was not a certified appraisal, we make no claim or representation as to the value of this particular  item. The dimensions are width - 27.5" and height - 39.5" This eclectic collection would be a welcome addition for any Marilyn Monroe aficionado.
