Product Description
Thomas Struth is considered one of the major figures of German photography. He combines a rigorous style with a neutral, objective vision of reality and an impressively precise technique. The first major monograph on Struth to be published in the United States, Still continues a notable tradition of books by German photographers from August Sander and Albert Renger-Patzsch to Hilla and Bernd Becher, and is a beautiful survey of Struth's body of work, including stunning close-up views of flowers, restrained urban streetscapes, intimate portraits, and frenzied museum interiors.
Critic Peter Schjeldahl has written in the Village Voice: "Thomas Struth [is] one of a generation of photographers whose work is the latest strength of a German art culture that seems to have no end of aces up its sleeve . . . His urban shots apply Becheresque formulas of static, unpopulated (surely early-morning), shadowless views with a feel for the ?typical' or ?average' aspect of a subject. As if in compensation, Struth's astonishing family portraits burn with human presence." Struth began in the early 1980s to make steely black-and-white photographs of deserted city streets and decaying buildings. In recent years, his work has diversified in subject, scale, and color to embrace increasingly ambitious subjects and challenging locations. Struth has extended his urban investigation to the inhabitants and spaces of the city, from Milan to Tokyo, while his recent landscapes and portraits complete his unique vision of the alternately public and solitary conditions of being.

 Monroe's Best! March 3, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
WOW!!! Even if you already own the HUGE coffee-table book of the complete last sitting, in my opinion this book is still highly recommended! The Bert Stern photos have always been my personal fav of Marilyn & I own books by all her photographers who have had books published. This one is perfect, it shows all the best photos from that magical last sitting with the # 1 Sex Goddess!
Wonderful book !!!! December 3, 2007

If you love Marilyn this is a must buy. Greak pics but there is nudity so it should be a purchase for people over 18 years old.
Great pics October 17, 2007

I love the variety and quality of the photos. The perfect gift for my daughter, a big MM fan.
 Creepy but worth a perusal in the book store September 24, 2007

Its certainly Marilyn as you've never seen her... unretouched photos showing thick makeup caked in her crows feet, a huge surgery scar on her stomach... boozed up and talked into taking her clothes off, as recounted by the photographer.
Mostly what I felt as I was looking at the photos was sad for Marilyn... and that she had yet again been taken advantage of by this photographer who kept writing about "how was I going to get her to take her clothes off?!" like a highschool senior before prom.
It particularly disgusted me when he wrote about how the moment he met her his "dream life in new york"... marriage...kids... everything disappeared... and eventually during one of the sessions he leaned in to kiss Marilyn but she said "no".
Hah! Good girl Marilyn.
