MORE than 3700 photos of Marilyn Monroe will soon be sold along with their copyrights, a Los Angeles auction house says.
The photos - plus negatives, slides and copyrights - are part of a collection of more than 75,000 images taken by fashion photographer Milton Greene in the 1950s and 60s.
They will go on the block at the auction house and online on July 27.
By pairing the images with their copyrights, buyers will be allowed to print, sell and earn royalties off the photos.
The photographer's son, Joshua Greene, recently told The Huffington Post it was "a bad business deal".
The archive also includes photos by Greene of Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Farrah Fawcett, Jane Fonda, Ava Gardner, Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.
Some of the Monroe photos depict the starlet against a black background, covered in a black sweater that highlights her bare skin.
Other more innocent shots show Monroe in a white coat against a white background.
Greene and Monroe met in 1953 at a photo shoot for Look magazine, when the photographer was 26.
When Greene sent her a copy of the images, Monroe responded with two dozen roses and phoned to say they were the most beautiful photos she had ever seen, according to the Profiles in History auction house.
During the four years that followed the shoot, until Monroe married Arthur Miller, Greene took more than 5000 pictures of her, the auction house said on its website.
Greene worked for magazines such as Vogue, Glamour and Harper's Bazaar during his long career.
"Along with other eminent photographers such as Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn, and Norman Parkinson, Milton Greene is credited for bringing fashion photography into the realm of fine art," the auction house said.
An online catalogue with a reproduction of the photographs can be seen on the Profiles in History website at www.profilesinhistory.com/flipbooks/Milton-Greene-Auction/index.html.
