1949 Marilyn Monroe Original Photo by Tom Kelley Red Velvet Sitting Stamped Rare

I have to account for that now to break even on what I paid for my photos in my collection. This is my second to last original Red Velvet photograph, I have one left but a different pose it's listed now. This is a famous photo but an extremely rare pose from the'Red Velvet' sitting. And a very rare large size 13 1/2 x 11 inch. Stamped by Kim Goodwin on back.

This is from, if not the best, then one of the very best Marilyn Monroe photo collectors of all time, Kim Goodwin. Kim Goodwin's stamp is on back. Kim was a man of many talents, he loved and had a deep appreciation for Marilyn, he actually worked for photographer, George Barris, and chose to be paid in photographs and negatives. He was extremely talented, among many talents, he was a photographic preservationist, there are many books that credit him for the use of his photos. He was a highly skilled Marilyn doll designer, some would argue perhaps the best because his dolls looked so life like and captured Marilyn's beauty in a way no other designer could and they had a gracefulness to them that was unparalleled, and as mentioned above contributed to many books on her.

He was also a sought after, highly regarded, expert stylist/artist to the stars. He is best known for his iconic 1949 nude photographs of Marilyn Monroe, which were distributed widely as calendar art-one of which was featured in the inaugural issue of Playboy magazine in 1953.
