(below: Manfred Kreiner’s photo of Marilyn Monroe)

Born in Speyer-am-Rhine, Germany in 1929, the late photojournalist who worked as the bureau chief in New York for the Bauer Publishing House in Hamburg, Germany, captured some of the most famous and iconic images of Hollywood’s greatest screen legend and sex symbol during some of her career defining appearances as well as her most candid and incandescent moments.

A wide variety of photographs and contact sheets, as well as some of the only known existing, original negatives of Kreiner’s images of Marilyn Monroe, will be offered for the first time at auction, some with copyright usage included. Several lots related to one of her biggest films, Some Like It Hot (UA, 1959), are heading to the auction block including a series of black and white negatives of Monroe with her husband, playwright Arthur Miller, at the 1959 premiere of the film (estimate: $4,000- $6,000); a group of ten black and white contact sheets of images of Marilyn Monroe taken by Kreiner while Monroe was in Chicago promoting the film (estimate: $1,500-$3,000); a group of six black and white photographs of Monroe signed or stamped by Kreiner that capture the pop culture icon being interviewed, photographed and smiling during her press trip to Chicago to promote Some Like It Hot (estimate: $1,000-$2,000) (photo right); a group of six black and white photographs signed or stamped by Kreiner, three of which capture Monroe looking adoringly at her husband Arthur Miller, being interviewed with Miller and holding his arm at the premiere of Some Like It Hot (estimate: $1,000- $2,000) and an image of Monroe at a Time Life building construction celebration (photo left), as well photographs, contact sheets and negatives from other sessions, including candids and original portraits.
