Marilyn Monroe, Black Sitting (1956)
Milton H. Greene
Large-Format Artist’s Proof

Among the most iconic and desirable images in Marilyn Monroe collecting, Black Sitting captures Marilyn at the height of her creative independence during her New York years. Photographed by Milton H. Greene in 1956, the portrait strips away Hollywood artifice, revealing a woman of confidence, intelligence, and quiet strength.

This rare large-format Artist’s Proof showcases the extraordinary depth, tonal richness, and emotional power that have made Black Sitting one of the defining portraits of twentieth-century photography and a cornerstone image for serious collectors of Marilyn Monroe, Hollywood, and photographic art.

Available now through the Goldin Pop Culture Auction, with proceeds benefiting The Marilyn Monroe Mental Health for the Arts Program, supporting mental health services for performing artists through the Entertainment Community Fund and Mount Sinai’s Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts.
