Nude Madonna Photo Sells for $37,500

A full-frontal, nude photo of a 20-year-old Madonna fetched
$37,500 at auction Thursday, an apparent record auction price for a
photograph of the superstar singer.

An unnamed European buyer bought the picture, which had been
expected to sell for up to $15,000, according to Christie’s auction
house.

Madonna, then known as Madonna Louise Ciccone, was a dancer trying to make ends
meet when she answered a newspaper ad seeking a nude model. She may
have earned as little as $25 for the 1979 photo session.
