Teen Kate
AN early 1993 picture
of 19 year old Kate Moss, taken on a rooftop in Marrakech, is set to be
auctioned for anything between £12,000 - £18,000. Shot by Albert Watson, the
photographer has described the image as "among the best pictures ever
taken of her, and she said so as well recently".
"This picture is
one of a limited edition of ten and is an impressive piece for its size,"
explained Sotheby's head of photography Jocelyn Phillips. "These factors,
along with the fact that Albert Watson is a sought after artist and Kate Moss
of course an iconic figure, make it a highly desirable item to appear at
auction."
Other highlights from
the Bonhams auction include Terry O'Neill's famous shot of Brigitte
Bardot, the late Corinne
Day's portrait of a young Kate Moss and
Albert Watson's black and white picture of Christy Turlington in 1990.
The sale will take
place at Bonhams on November 17.
