Christie's London is to hold a Modern Photography auction

Classic picture: Burt Glinn's portrait of Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick and Chuck Wein, 1965 has an estimate of £3k to 5k

 Striking: Irving Penn's Harlequin Dress (Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn), New York, 1950, estimate £70k to £90k

They are iconic images that have shaped fashion portraiture, inspired countless photographers and created lasting impressions on every aesthete. And now these famous pictures are up for sale.

Christie's London is to hold a Modern Photography auction selling famous photographs by the likes of Helmut Newton, Irving Penn and David Lachapelle.
Top lots will include Helmut Newton's famous Self Portrait with Wife and Models from 1980, which has an estimated sale price of £70k to £90k, as well as his stunning 10th Floor Hilton, Paris, from 1976, which has an estimated value of between £30k and £50k.

This is an opportunity to acquire some of the most important works of the history of photography, with works by 19th century masters, and a strong focus on post-war and fashion photography, led by the work of Irving Penn, Helmut Newton and Peter Beard,' Christie's said of the sale.

If anyone finds any spare change under the sofa. I'd love the Warhol. And seeing how my birthday is in may 'hint hint'. You may want to get a jump start on your shopping.

Love & Light.
