This June, please join us in celebrating the centennial of the iconic, the one and only, Marilyn Monroe. We are beyond proud to present this collection by former US Army photographer, Ellsworth Tripp, featuring previously unpublished and never before exhibited photographs of Monroe during her legendary USO tour of Korea.

The black dress, the vast crowds, and the allure of one of the greatest cultural icons of all time, all in 18 never before seen color and black and white images.

They are absolutely stunning, and we printed them big!

Through the photographic lens of Tripp, we are privileged to experience a time capsule of Korea, 1954. His photographs range from expansive panoramic shots of the Korean landscape, intimate photos of Korean villagers, portraits of presidential and political figures, and many subjects in between. Ellsworth’s documentation sheds light on The Forgotten War with a sensitive and sometimes poignant point of view.

Marilyn by Tripp is on view June 5 – August 1,
