Marilyn, August 1953 The Lost LOOK Photos

In 1953, John Vachon, then a photographer forLOOKmagazine, snapped dozens of candid shots of Marilyn Monroe in the Canadian Rockies -- only two were ever published. This beautiful hardcover collects those unseen photographs for the first time, capturing the sex symbol in intimate, unguarded moments: lounging poolside, riding a ski lift, and snuggling with Joe DiMaggio. Includes facsimiles of handwritten letters by Vachon and insightful original essays. 102 duotone photos.

John Vachon (1914–75) worked as a documentary photojournalist with the renowned Farm Security Administration before shooting more than 450 assignments for LOOK magazine.
Editor Brian Wallis is Chief Curator and Director of Exhibitions at the International Center of Photography in New York.
