Marilyn Monroe: Icon


  • Iconic Images Gallery 16 Waterloo Place London, England, SW1Y 4AR United Kingdom (map)

Few figures in twentieth-century culture have been photographed, interpreted and mythologised as extensively as Marilyn Monroe. As we celebrate the centenary of her birth, her image continues to occupy a singular place in the collective imagination, suspended between Hollywood construction and personal vulnerability, celebrity and self-invention.

Bringing together works by photographers including Eve Arnold, Sam Shaw, Allan Grant and more, this exhibition traces some of the most enduring visual representations of Monroe across studio portraiture, reportage and candid photography.
