Len Steckler called the series “Marilyn Monroe: The Visit". When Monroe, wearing sunglasses, short sleeve dress in her bright smile chatted, held hands and drank Jack Daniels whiskey with Sandburg, Len Steckler with his camera, in a “flying” emotion, continuously shot the famous appealing lovely actress.

The pictures series include four single image and two triptychs. Each piece will be printed to 250 copies and cost from $1,999 to $3,999.
