Kate Moss Naked Pictures Set To Sell At $43,000 At Auction (NSFW PHOTOS)

Update 5/24: According to Amateur Photographer, Christie's failed to sell the photos at its auction. Read more here.

---

A set of photographs of Kate Moss crouched into a ball while nude is set to sell for $43,000 at a Christie's auction, Bloomberg reports. The photographs are part of a blown-up contact sheet taken by Albert Watson in Marrakech in 1993. There are fourteen pictures total, which will hit the block in London on May 21.

"It's an image that appeals far beyond the specialist world of photography," said Philippe Garner, Christie's international head of photograph sales. "Kate Moss is one of the lasting emblems of this age's ideal of beauty."

"How Much Is Nude Kate Moss Worth?"

At $4.99/lb., around $400. Extra if you want it plucked.

Most of that weight is bones.

I understand Moss Soup is a traditional delicacy in China's Sichuan Province.

I'm afraid the Italian Renaissance painters would have rejected Kate as a nude model. Troppo magra!

"We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses." -Kate Moss

Kate is lovely, but these photos showcase bad skin and muscle tone. Cannot dig it.

Anyone who would pay 43 large for these photos are out of their mind. And yes, they'll find a chump.

I'll gladly sell some naked photos of myself for less than $43,000.
Going once, going twice, .............. no takers?

Kate Moss is a timeless beauty. And she can still pull in the big bucks on the catwalk. Worth every penny.

She isn't a "Timeless" beauty. I know a lot of young girls that look just like her. Bad teeth, cocain skin and a lot of airbrushing. Pictures of a starving young lady doesn't say much for the industry.

You know a lot of young girls with "a lot of airbrushing?"
I don't know any.

She looks like a stranded crack head. That's why she makes the "big bucks".
