    Kate Moss the auction comes up at Christie’s in London next September 25.  Curated by Gert Elfering the sale – titled Kate Moss – The Collection – will present a selection of works in various media.  The roster of artists include Allen Jones, with his work Kate Moss (bronze glitter) 2013, (£20,000-30,000), Annie Liebovitz, Mary McCartney, Craig McDean, Irving Penn, Mario Sorrenti, Sam Taylor-Wood, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Ellen von Unwerth, and Albert Watson. Their images are complemented by new, specially commissioned painting and sculpture by Allen Jones, a collage by Sir Peter Blake, a tapestry by Chuck Close, and a sculpture of Kate Moss as a naked angel in 18ct gold by Nick Knight. Photographs predominate, many in exceptionally large sizes.

    Philippe Garner, director of photographs at Christie’s commented:  “Kate Moss – The Collection is a very special event at Christie’s this fall, a unique presentation of emblematic works that powerfully capture the very essence of contemporary glamour and style. Gert Elfering has applied his great flair as a curator, to the concept of bringing together a group of outstanding works around the theme of the greatest icon of style of the modern age, Kate Moss.  Gert recognised the appetite of today’s collectors for photographs that confound traditional norms.  And so he has worked with the artists involved to create unique or very limited edition printings in a range of scales that, in certain cases, reach dramatic mural proportions.  He was also keen to include works in other media, reminding us that photography, while central to our image culture, should, in the hands of its great practitioners, be measured and appreciated among the arts in all media”. (Click on any image to enlarge it).

    UPDATE: The sale realized £1,665,500. The top lot was A model Model, 2013, by Allen Jones, which realised £133,875.
