Marilyn Monroe 100 – The Official Centenary Book

Authors: Christian Siriano, Rachel Syme, David Wills and Louie Conway

Marilyn Monroe 100 is the only official book celebrating Marilyn Monroe's hundredth birth year. This exclusive centenary book is published in close cooperation with the Marilyn Monroe Estate and offers an unparalleled and complete portrait of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century.

The book brings together the work of seventeen photographers who closely followed Marilyn between 1945 and 1962. From early images of a young Norma Jeane to world-famous glamour portraits and intimate, candid behind-the-scenes moments. Photographers such as André de Dienes, Joseph Jasgur, and Bernard of Hollywood show her first steps. Photos by John Florea and Philippe Halsman reveal a rising star, while Eve Arnold, Elliott Erwitt, Bruce Davidson, and Henri Cartier-Bresson capture Marilyn on the sets of her most iconic films. Cecil Beaton and Richard Avedon highlight her timeless beauty, and photographers such as Alfred Eisenstaedt, Sam Shaw, George Barris, and Milton Greene reveal a more personal, vulnerable side.

The book concludes with Bert Stern's legendary Last Sitting, complemented by recently rediscovered photographs by Allan Grant for Life magazine, published just two days before Marilyn's death. Together they form an impressive visual testament.

In addition to photography, Marilyn Monroe 100 contains a rich selection of quotes from Marilyn herself, combined with essays by leading writers and cultural experts. They paint a picture of a woman with a unique personality: complex, intelligent, and far ahead of her time. One hundred years after her birth, it becomes clear how avant-garde Marilyn Monroe truly was.

This beautiful coffee table book is a monumental and stylish tribute to a woman who profoundly changed the world.

Kuni Ori

Collector’s Edition
Photography: Henk Bothof
“Kuni Ori” – where do you come from


A rare photographic tribute to Suri culture

For more than twenty years, Dutch photographer Henk Bothof has been traveling to southern Ethiopia to document the Suri people. What started as wonder grew into a deep-rooted bond of trust. Bothof became an insider—one of the very few to gain access to all facets of Suri life, including rituals normally hidden from outsiders.

In Kuni Ori, he captures this exceptional culture: from lip plates, body painting, scarifications, and ceremonial stick fighting to drinking cow blood and rare, 'secret' ceremonies such as the naming ceremony and the gerari ritual. Each image testifies to proximity, respect, and mutual trust.

The approximately 80 powerful photographs in this monumental coffee table book are not anthropological observations, but a visual ode to beauty, identity, and tradition. The images are simultaneously raw and refined, understated and exuberant—timelessly captured at a moment when this way of life is slowly coming under pressure from modernization, government policies, and tourism.

Yet, above all, the photos show the resilience and pride of the Suri, who, despite everything, cling to their age-old customs. As Suri friend Barkede puts it:
“I am happy and proud that Henk shows the beauty of Suri culture in this book. It means a lot to us.”


Collector’s Edition – only 75 copies worldwide

The exclusive collector’s edition of Kuni Ori is published in a limited edition of only 75 copies and is a true art object for collectors, photography enthusiasts, and museum collections.

Each edition comes in a luxurious linen box and contains:

• the monumental hardcover book (Swiss binding, gilded edges)
  
• three exclusive photo prints, numbered and signed by Henk Bothof
  
• an original, handmade ceramic lip plate, as worn by Suri women

This edition is not just a book, but a tangible document of a disappearing culture.


About the author – Henk Bothof

Henk Bothof is a renowned Dutch photographer, known for his long-term, in-depth projects focusing on people, culture, and identity.
