Rare photos of A-listers including Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Cindy Crawford go on display via new online gallery

Once-rare photos of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Cindy Crawford are set to become all the more accessible thanks to a unique online art gallery that is offering limited-edition artworks by famed photographers and artists for a fraction of the original price.

Based in the UK, ONGallery negotiates directly with famous artists and photographers to publish larger edition runs than a traditional gallery would, allowing prices to be significantly reduced, and the works more widely available to the general public, including images from photographers such as Frank Worth, Bert Stern and Daniela Federici.

Epitome of glamour: The blonde icon looks stunning perched inside a convertible and smiling wide while wearing a beautiful gown 
A final glimpse: This image, taken by Bert Stern in 1962, is part of a series that is widely known as the 'Last Sitting' because it is thought to be the final photoshoot Marilyn posed for before her death six weeks later 
Risque: The same shoot saw Marilyn posing up with a piece crystal-embellished fabric which was draped artfully over her chest
