- Lot Description
A drawing of a nude woman signed by Marilyn Monroe, who inscribed and gifted the drawing to Broadway set designer Boris Aronson. Sanguine on paper, inscribed in blue ink "For Boris -/ Waiting - Wondering -/ Woman - Marilyn Monroe Miller" mounted to matteboard and undated. The drawing has been referred to as "an erotic self-portrait."
Monroe's husband Arthur Miller worked with Aronson on A View From the Bridge around the time of Miller's divorce and budding relationship with Monroe. Aronson, when he first met Monroe, is quoted by Elia Kazan as having said, "That's a wife?" Kazan shared that quote and evidently its sentiment by answering the question in his autobiography as, "Hell no!"
12 by 9 inches; 17 1/2 by 14 inches, overall
PROVENANCE From the Estate of Boris Aronson
