MUNICH, GERMANY.- Galerie f5,6, Munich, Germany is proud to announce an exhibition by American Lawrence Schiller of his legendary Marilyn Monroe portfolio, accompanied by other historic images of the 60's. Lawrence Schiller was one of the most important magazine photographers in the 60's working for Magazines such as Stern, Paris Match, Life Magazine, Time, Newsweek and the Saturday Evening Post.
And through this turbulent and tumultuous decade, it often seemed that whenever a headline-making news event occurred, Lawrence Schiller, like Woody Allen's fictional Zelig, was there. When the 1960 presidential election results came in and Richard Nixon lost, Schiller was there to capture Nixon's wife's tears And when Marilyn Monroe took off her clothes in 1962, Schiller photographed her. When Lee Harvey Oswald was captured after the assassination of JFK, and two days later killed by Jack Ruby in the basement of the Dallas Police department in 1963, Schiller was covering it for The Saturday Evening Post. When Muhammad Ali knocked out Floyd Patterson Schiller was there. He portrayed many Hollywood stars like Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid, Dennis Hopper, Barbara Streisand to name but a few.
