$2250.00

A Marilyn Monroe limited edition color photograph by Tom Kelley and signed by Hugh Hefner.
An over-sized cibachrome image depicting the star in her famous 'red velvet' nude pose;signed and numbered on the lower border in silver ink "265/300 H.H."Framed by ___________ in Santa Monica. Frame measures 47" x 40"Photograph itself measures 36" x 29".I intentionally removed the paper from the backside out of a desire to examine those areas that weren't visible. I didn't discover anything out of the ordinary. The wood frame had a few scratches which I repaired myself with wood filler and then painted those areas to blend in with the original black paint.
"A then-unknown wanna-be actress named Norma Jeane Baker posed for her now-infamous series of nude calendar photographs on May 27, 1949. Just twenty-two years old at the time, the blonde ingenue, who would just a short time later come to be known as one of the most famous movie stars in the entire world, posed sans clothing while laying on top of a drape made of red velvet".HISTORIC SALES:Nate D.
