Lot 1106. Marilyn Monroe showgirl costume worn at a 1955 Madison Square Garden charity benefit. (1955)
On March 30, 1955 at a Madison Square Garden charity event put on by Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus to benefit the Arthritis and Rheumatism Foundation, Marilyn wore this spectacular showgirl costume constructed of ivory taffeta with black velvet ribbon stripes applied to a 1-piece zippered back closure bodice with bikini-cut bottom, ornamented with rhinestones, teardrop pearls, faux diamonds and sequins. Padded black velvet trim and piping to edges and sequined nude chiffon above the bust line. Two fabric loops attach in the back of the costume to form a large bow trailing 29 in. trains and pleated crepe streamers. Plumes of blonde ostrich feathers flank the oversize bow at the back of the costume to cover the bodice closure. Myriad round .5 in. mirror sequins are strategically placed throughout the costume (even on ostrich feathers) to take advantage of the Madison Square Garden’s spotlights to make the star glimmer. It was in the staging area behind the arena where they prepared the animals, clowns and other acts, that Monroe, wearing this costume, climbed aboard a pink elephant (her own idea to paint the pachyderm pink!). Monroe and Milton Greene also planned to that night announce the formation of Marilyn Monroe Productions. Together she and Greene thought of this event as her reappearance on the grand stage after her much publicized divorce from Joe DiMaggio. She intended to make a big entrance – and succeeded! Exhibiting minor fading, some fraying to seams, spot staining, tearing to some crepe edges, missing sequins and beads, and light soiling to feathers. Unrestored, in vintage very good condition. Provenance: this costume was acquired by the consignor directly from Joshua Greene, son of Milton H. Greene, vice president of Marilyn Monroe Productions, who attended the event at Madison Square Garden. Est: $250,000 - $350,000
Lot 1120. Marilyn Monroe personal Grecian-style cocktail dress. (ca. 1950s-1960s)

The delicately gathered bodice is cinched by an integral strand of piping and a second-tier piping sash with flowing ribbon ends tied in a bow below the bust, giving the skirt a gentle draped effect. The shoulder straps converge in a low cut back line, bisected by the sash to create elegant draping. Exhibiting light browning to shoulder straps from age visible only upon close inspection. Fabric remains supple and fresh. The elegant Grecian dress remains in otherwise fine condition. Provenance: Christie’s The Property of Marilyn Monroe, Oct 27 & 28, 1999, Lot 103.

(TCF, 1953) Accomplished in gouache, tempera, and paste-up elements on 9.25 x 13.25 in. deckled watercolor paper. Signed at bottom left, “Enzo Nistri”. For the 4-fogli original Italian poster for the film, the Rome offices of 20th Century Fox commissioned Nistri to come up with a special design. The result was a captivating artwork of a young Marilyn Monroe in a tight green dress beckoning with her index finger for the viewer to approach.

Lot 1125. Bill Mack portrait painting of Marilyn Monroe on a fragment of the original Hollywood sign. (ca. 2000s) The amalgam of two icons that changed not only the world of popular entertainment, but charted a course for culture in the 20th century. For this extraordinarily unique piece, world renowned artist Bill Mack used as his canvas metal facing from the original 1923 “Hollywood” sign. The panel was restored to carefully preserve the patina resulting from decades of exposure to the elements, including paint fade, rust and other defects. The artist underpainted the image in acrylic and finished it in oil. When completed, the paint was aged with an oil base toner and preserved with a clear urethane. The striking “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”-inspired likeness vividly captures the sultry vivacity that Marilyn brought to her films. The painting is mounted on a rigid backing accentuating the original holes drilled in the metal created to relieve pressure from the wind. Artwork measures 24 x 30 in. (outer frame dimensions are 37.5 x 43.5 in.). A remarkable piece of art created from one of the most recognized monuments of the 20th century. Similar Bill Mack Hollywood sign paintings routinely sell in the $50,000 range, with larger examples realizing in excess of $100,000. Mack is celebrated for his depictions of Marilyn, and this is a particularly striking example. Est: $4 500 USD - $6 500 USD
