A stunning photograph of Madonna posing naked on a bed while smoking a ciggie has sold for nearly $24,000 Dlls.
The whopping sum is three times the original estimate placed on the smoking hot image.
The arty photograph shows the Like A Virgin singer sporting bleach-blond hair and dark eye make-up.
She flaunts her bare breasts but just about covers her modesty with a white sheet, while holding a cigarette to her pouting lips.
The provocative image was taken by fashion photographer Steven Meisel but was never included in Madge’s controversial 1992 book Sex.
Now an anonymous collector has snapped up the picture, which was taken when Madonna was about 31 during her Blond Ambition tour.
The singer, now 53, boasted at the time: “I know that I’m not the best singer and I know that I’m not the best dancer.
“But, I can f*****g push people’s buttons and be as provocative as I want. The tour’s goal is to break useless taboos.”
Judith Eurich of New York salesroom Bonhams — who sold the picture — said: “It is an absolutely stunning image and it is just a beautiful tone of grey. It is not just black and white it is grey and silvery."
“She was going through a phase of having bleach blonde hair and heavy dark eye make-up that gave her a dramatic look — and of course she has a gorgeous body.
“She is a very healthy person and I’d imagine the cigarette is just a prop to make her look sexy and sultry.”
It's called simple logic & common sense.
You have no one to blame, but yourself. .
