On August 5 1962 the life of the blond icon Marlyn Monroe (born as Norma Jean Mortenson) came to an end. Only 36 years old, beautiful as ever and a death shrouded with mysterie. Today, exactly 50 years later after her death, Marlyn Monroe is a still alive as ever. Her influence in fashion, music and film industry has never stopped as she is still a great inspiration source for artists, filmmakers and designers.

With her sad roe-deer eyes, sensual lips and voluptuous lines, she used to be a loving subject for many great photographers. A retrospektive of Marlyn by Richard Avedon, Goerge Barris, Bert Stern and Andy Warhol.
