Comment(s): Andre de Dienes (born Andor György Ikafalvi-Dienes) is most noted for his work with Marilyn Monroe and his nude photography. In recent years his work has received long overdue and favorable attention, most notably an exhibition entitled "André de Dienes: Marilyn and California Girls," which opened June 9, 2016 at the Steven Kasher Gallery in New York City. It represented the first solo show of his work in New York in over ten years. Image copyright © The Estate of Andre de Dienes. [24833-2-150] |
