Kate Moss Nude Photos Up For Auction
If nude photographs of Kate Moss are what you’ve always been looking for, then you’re in luck… but had better bring your checkbook.
It was just announced that the nude shots will be sold at a May 31st Christie’s auction in London, among a series of other pictures of the British supermodel.
"Two nude portraits, a 1996 print by Irving Penn and a 6-by-6-foot square image by Albert Watson, are expected to sell for about $44,000 and $30,000 respectively,” ShowBuzz reported the auction house, as saying. “A set of six prints of Moss without makeup, taken by Chuck Close, could sell for up to $40,000,” Christie’s added.
Also for sale:
“An unpublished photo, being sold by one of the 33-year-old’s friends, is expected to sell for about $12,000. The portrait, taken by photographer Corinne Day in 1990, was shot in London two years after Moss was discovered at a New York airport at age 14.”
“Another shot taken by Day in 1993 for Vogue magazine, which features a 19-year-old Moss, is expected to sell for $14,000. The Vogue shoot helped propel the grunge movement into the mainstream and launch the “heroin chic” look in the 1990s.”
Moss, who is now reported to be engaged to Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty, has had a troubled recent past after mega-success in the nineties.
Yuka Yamaji, head of photography for the auction house, called Moss “a cultural icon and arguably the most influential model of our day.”
Enjoy the free photos of a clothed Kate Moss both partying and with the daughter of model Rosemary Ferguson, a good friend of Kate’s (thanks to our insightful reader who pointed this out!).
