Greta Garbo was an Academy Award winning actress who was a major star in the 1920's and 30's in both silent and talking films.

The Edward Weston Collection is one of the world's premiere archives of classic Hollywood glamour photography.  This famed art publisher built his holdings over five decades through his personal and business relationships with George Hurrell, Lazlo Willinger, Jeannie Bull (Clarence Sinclair Bull's widow), John Kobal, Milton Greene, Ted Allan, George Barris, Bert Stern and many others.

Edward Weston pioneered the emergence of Hollywood glamour photography into the fine art market over 50 years ago while exhibiting these works throughout the United States and Europe.  Featuring his Marilyn Monroe Collection, the collection traveled throughout the United States titled "From Harlow to Monroe". 

Mr. Weston collaborated with John Kobal (now the John Kobal Foundation in London, England) publishing photographs of Greta Garbo taken from the original camera negatives by Clarence Sinclair (C.S.) Bull, who is considered one of the most important photographers of his time.
