Really?!
A nude photograph of the currently detained Roman Polanski and his late wife, Sharon Tate, will be sold at auction at Christie’s in NYC on December 7th.
The photo, shot by David Bailey in 1969, was taken months before Tate’s tragic murder.
“It’s an important image,” said Laura Paterson, vice president of Christie’s auction house. “It certainly is provocative because of who the characters are. But it’s also a touching naked shot of a happy couple. And Bailey does capture the anything goes flavor of that period.”
Considering the circumstances, it’s still pretty creepy!
Christie’s believes that the photo may garner anywhere between $8,000 to $12,000, but it could go even high due to Polanski’s recent stint in Swiss prison.
Yuck!
