“images are being released by the Eve Arnold estate as posters to help fulfil Arnold’s wishes for her work to be affordable, accessible folk art. Prints would normally cost more than £1,000. The images include two unseen images of Marilyn Monroe on the set of the Misfits” - The Guardian
“I would prefer photography to be a folk art - cheap and available to everybody, rather than elevated to mandarin proportions created through an artificial scarcity.” - Eve Arnold
This 2021 poster collection includes 3 unseen and 12 of Eve’s most iconic images, chosen to capture the diversity of her work.
The collection includes:
Well know and unseen images of Marilyn Monroe
The Civil Rights movement in America in the 1950s and ‘60s
Intimate portraits and human interest, including “A baby’s first five minutes”
Before this collection, Eve’s best work was only available as museum quality prints, starting at £1000.
“Whether photographing celebrity or the everyday, Arnold's portraits are magical, memorable and enduring.” - Time Magazine
