London,
(ANI):
Nude
black
and
white
photographs
of
supermodel
Kate
Moss
are
to
go
under
the
hammer.
Over
a
dozen
photographs
were
taken
in
1993
in
Marrakech
and
are
likely
to
fetch
up
to
30,000
pounds
when
they
are
sold
on
Friday.
The
pictures
that
show
the
supermodel
crouching
on
sand
come
in
the
form
of
the
photographer's
'contact
sheet".
Photographer
Albert
Watson
shot
Moss
without
clothes
or
jewellery
when
she
was
in
her
late
teens.
"Albert
Watson
is
a
famed
photographer," the
Telegraph
quoted
Alexander
Montague-Sparey,
photography
expert
from
Christie's
auction
house
which
is
selling
the
photos,
as
saying.
"He
is
known
for
his
work
in
black
and
white
and
these
photographs
have
a
golden
quality
to
them
which
makes
them
very
attractive.
There
is
a
contact
sheet
with
14
photographs
and
they
are
very
large
for
contact
sheet
photos.
There
was
another
print
from
this
shoot
which
was
enlarged
and
sold
for
50,000
pounds.
"The
photographs
are
like
looking
through
a
keyhole
into
an
intimate
moment
and
they
draw
you
in.
There
is
an
intimacy
between
the
photographer
and
his
muse.
She
is
crouching
trying
to
hide
as
much
of
her
body
as
possible.
There
are
those
who
collect
Watson
photographs
and
Kate
Moss
is
very
commercial
and
they
are
a
safe
investment," he
added.
