Madonna's Nude Photo May Go For $10,000 Each
Saturday, January 17, 2009Two photos of Madonna, which one of them may include a black and white full frontal nude photograph of Madonna that was taken by photographer Lee Friedlander in 1979 may be up for grab in the Christie auction next month (Feb the 12th to be exact). This black and white image later appeared in Playboy 1985 after being sold by Lee, revealed by the head of Christie's photography department, Matthieu Humery.
Madonna Louise Ciccone, as she was known at that time was only a 20 years old dancer when she took the nude modeling session that may earn her as little as $25. There were another 5 nude photos from the Playboy spread that sold for $7,170 in 1973.
The other photo of Madonna could be taken by Helmut Newton which is in color and featuring Madonna in lingerie with curly blond hair.
According to Christie, the record price paid for a nude photo is 1.6 million dollars. This transaction took place last year for the Edward Weston 1925 "nude".
I know some of you want to see the uncensored black and white photo. Well, at this is a black and white photo that is going to be auctioned, not only you can view but also zoom and enlarge it. The color photo is also available to be bid.
I wonder how Madonna going to react when she got to know about this photo auction. Perhaps she will place the highest bid!
