Nude photo of Madonna is sold at auction for $37,500
A full frontal nude photo of Madonna, before she became famous, has sold at auction for $37,500 — more than double its pre-sale estimate. The black and white photo of the pop music superstar, aged 20, was acquired by an unnamed European buyer at Christie’s in New York. The picture, taken by photographer Lee Friedlander, was shot at a time when Madonna was a dancer trying to make ends meet in New York.
