‘Marilyn I Wanna Be Loved By You’ is the new exhibition at Aix’s Caumont Centre-d’Art.
Sixty images from top photographers will highlight her career – most of them are from private collections.
The narrative will focus on her relationship with photography and ask how they – Marilyn and the photographers – constructed her image. How did photography transform Norma Jean Baker into worldwide star and icon?
The exhibition begins on October 22nd and runs until 1st May.
During the Toussaint holiday, there will be a daily guided tour, 22nd Nov – 2nd Nov, 16:00, 19 Euros.
In some ways this is an unusual choice for the gallery which had announced its intention to focus on 18th and 19th century art. But it promises to be an interesting show. And they will be back on track with their next summer exhibition, ‘Alfred Sisley Maitre de l’Impressionisme’ beginning on 10th June.
