Kate for Sale

Mar 11, 2008 @ 9:31am

Kate Moss by Irving Penn.jpgDoes anybody have an extra $40,000 dollars laying around?


Because we're going to need it to get a piece of Kate at next month's Christie's auction.

On April 10th in the middle of the afternoon, 135 prints from the private collection of German photographer Gert Elfering will go up for auction at Rockefeller Center.

Nude prints of Kate and Gisele shot by Irving Penn are among the most sought after, as are Avedon portraits of Brigitte Bardot, a semi-topless Lauren Hutton, and even The Beatles, along with prints shot by Man Ray, Mapplethorpe, Helmut Newton, Diane Arbus and Horst P. Horst.

We're kind of wondering where some of these pieces will be hung once the lucky betters take them home. Would it be in bad taste to have a naked Kate in the entry way? How about nude Gisele in the kitchen?

Forget Gisele (sorry...), an Avedon shot of Brigitte Bardot sounds like a dream.

Why would you pay $40,000 for a nude kate...she takes almost every opportunity to get naked
