Nudie Madonna pic bought for 37.5k

A full-frontal nude photograph of Madonna, aged 20, has sold at Christie's in New York for $37,500, a record for an image of the singer.

That previously reported full frontal nude photo of Madonna, aged 20, has sold at auction for $37,500 at Christie's in New York auction.

It's apparently a record amount for a picture of the singer, and this particular image had only been expected to raise £15k.

The photograph was one of a series of six taken by photographer Lee Friedlander that appeared in Playboy in 1985. The other five were sold together in 2003 for just $7,170.
