A portion of proceeds will go toward Raising Malawi, a nonprofit founded by Madonna in 2006 to support orphans and vulnerable children in the country. Each print will be an edition of one and signed by Madonna and fashion photographer Steven Meisel, who shot the 134-page book, with prices ranging from $50,000 on the low end up to $300,000, according to Darius Himes, Christie’s deputy chairman, international head of photographs. In October, 40 prints first published in Sex will go up for sale as part of a special standalone auction. Prints of photographs from Madonna’s wildly popular 1992 coffee table book Sex will be available for purchase for the first time at Christie’s New York this autumn, part of ongoing projects to mark the 30th anniversary of the controversial publication. ![]()
