Earlier today we got to see the first image of Madonna posing with Brazilian model (and rumored romantic fling) Jesus Luz from the upcoming W magazine photospread shot by Steven Klein … and now we get to see a bit more of Madonna than we are used to seeing these days. Christie’s Auction House in NYC is offering up two original photographs of Madonna that were shot 30 years ago back before she became the pop music icon we know now. Both photos are expected to fetch at least $10,000 at auction but one of the photos is getting a bit more attention … photographed by Lee Friedlander, the extra special photo features Maddy in full nekkid repose:
Two photographs of Madonna set to appear in a Christie’s auction next month will probably sell for at least $10,000 each, according to estimates posted on the company’s Web site. One, a full-frontal nude black-and-white photograph of the singer, was taken in 1979 by celebrated American photographer Lee Friedlander for a series of nudes he was working on, said Milena Sales, a spokeswoman for the auction house. Madonna was about 20 when the photograph, one of several, was taken. A handful from the shoot appeared in Playboy magazine in 1985, Sales said. Christie’s put price estimates for the photograph at $10,000 to $15,000. The second photograph of Madonna was taken in the 1980s by Helmut Newton. In the Newton photograph, which is in color, Madonna is wearing a short dress and black stockings with garters. The circumstances behind the photo shoot were not immediately clear. The auction will take place in New York on February 12.
After the jump, check out a larger size version of the 20-year old nekkid photo of Madonna that is up for auction at Christie’s that is said to fetch at least $10,000 when it goes on sale next month …
