LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In its most anticipated release to date, Phto. — an NFT Fine Art Photography pioneer and industry leader — announced “Innovation of Influence,” a curated digital collection celebrating one of the most photographed women in history: Norma Jeane. This historically significant catalog features images captured through the lens of legendary photographer Richard C. Miller — the only photographer to photograph the Hollywood icon from the start of her career as Norma Jeane to the end of her career as legendary actress, singer and socialite Marilyn Monroe.
This extraordinary release of the Miller Norma Jeane collection, which has been exhibited, collected and sold by institutions such as the Getty Museum and Christie’s, features fascinating rare images of the great star that will be sold as digital NFT collectibles for the very first time.
This iconic and incomparable collection includes both photographs and original negatives in which Miller captures Norma Jeane’s transformation from her early years as a shy and unknown 19-year-old talent and armed forces pinup to America’s beloved actress, singer and generational icon Marilyn Monroe.
Photo. has licensed nearly 100 of these rare photographs and negatives as Limited Edition and 1-of-1 Fine Art Photography NFTs that come complete with a first-of-its-kind, blockchain-native Certificate of Authenticity. Featuring stunning portraits of the would-be superstar as both an ambitious teenager and a Hollywood powerhouse, this vibrant mid-century digital collection will go live for sale on Friday 14 October on all recognized digital asset marketplaces at a price of approximately $100 USD each. See a preview of the collection at https://www.phto.io/normajeane.
Included in the limited edition “Innovation of Influence”, Phto. will also be auctioning off a series of 1-of-1 mixed media and AI collaborations with five renowned Web3 creatives: Claire Silver, Jeremy Cowart, Sara Baumann (aka Sparky), Jeneva and Amber Vittoria. Each artist will place their signature style on a unique photograph from Miller’s collection, further enhancing and exemplifying the capabilities of art photography as a digital asset.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to honor Norma Jeane and Richard C. Miller’s legacy while advancing the standard of digital ownership and provenance in the world of fine art photography,” said Phto. “It has been a privilege to curate the collection and we are delighted to bring these rare, historic photographs to an audience of art enthusiasts and digital collectors around the world.”
