THE ENGLISH GROUP: PROJECT UPDATES

06/06/06   PROJECT UPDATE:   EVE ARNOLD AND MARILYN MONROE

June 8th would have been the date of Marilyn Monroe's 80th birthday. To celebrate this and Marilyn's unique contribution to film's rich legacy, Magnum Photos have staged an exhibition of Eve Arnold's unparalleled photographs of Marilyn Monroe on the walls of 195 Piccadilly, the British Academy of Film & Television Arts' private member's club.

The English Group are proud to have been asked to produce a short run of just 250 Limited Edition monographs, to be given to guests attending the Private Champagne Reception. The 64pp publication offers a rare opportunity to view 22 of Eve's Arnold's portraits of Marilyn from across her entire career. These portraits often capture this most iconic of movie stars in her most intimate moments; at home, at play and on the sets of her movies. In addition to the photography, the monograph details an excerpt from Eve Arnold's own film journals, where Eve offers fascinating insight in to her own relationship with Marilyn.
