Richard Avedon / Christie's via AP

In this May 6, 1957 photo released by Christie's Auction House in New York, actress Marilyn Monroe is shown. The photo will be among others by photographer Richard Avedon offered for auction by Christie's Paris galleries in the Fall of 2010 to raise money for the New York-based Avedon Foundation.

For sale: Richard Avedon portrait of Marilyn Monroe

Here's the AP story on the auction, which starts out with more of the pictures up for sale--The Beatles, Twiggy, etc.

We'll be posting a slideshow with more the Avedon pictures being auctioned shortly. Will update this post with the link.
