There have been many Marilyn photo books - but nothing like this.
Australian-born curator and preservationist David Wills has accrued one of the world's largest independent archives of original Marilyn Monroe photographs. Now, in MARILYN METAMORPHOSIS, he has gathered the work of every major Marilyn photographer - and dozens of unknowns - to create the most dazzling portfolio of images from every period in Marilyn Monroe's life, from her earliest sittings in 1942 till just weeks before her death two decades later. With over three hundred full-bleed photos -- including countless dazzling, unseen colour photos from the very start of her career - MARILYN METAMORPHOSIS chronicles her meteoric rise from a humble catalogue model to one of the most recognised faces in history. No other book even comes close.
