This rare and previously unpublished photo was taken at the guest villa of Joseph Schenk's estate in October, 1953.
The 'Ballerina Sitting' was named by Time magazine in 1999 as one of the top three photographs of the 20th century. It was taken in Greene's New York studio in 1954.
In October 1955, Greene selected two outfits from a rack of clothes left over from a fashion shoot and used Marilyn as a model while setting up lights for two shoots the next day.
Marilyn was captured sitting on the floor as a result of a sprained ankle during a shoot with Look magazine in 1953. This photo was considered risqué at the time and has not been published again until now.
