Nude photographs taken of Madonna in 1979 as she modeled to pay her way through dance school are to go on display in London.
Seven Dials in Covent Garden's is set to play host to the London premiere of The Madonna Nudes - 30th Anniversary exhibition, a collection of these intimate photographs of the fifty year old pop Diva, taken when she was just 20.
The black and white pictures are available to buy from £3,400 and likely to become serious collectors' items.
Also for sale is a unique piece of never seen before memorabilia - a one off print of the original Polaroid test shot, which, included with the original model release and the Polaroid, is expected to fetch in excess of £40,000.
This would eclipse the previous record of $37,500 recently paid at auction earlier this year for the Lee Friedlander photograph which also featured in the 1985 Playboy. The exhibition will be co-hosted by Seven Dials and Impure Art the UK's only erotic art gallery.
Jamie McCartney of Impure Art comments: "When you have wonderful nude photos of a beautiful young woman, taken by a great photographer and she happens to be a global icon, it's a no brainer.
"With such a fantastic central London venue and with Madonna herself being in town, we are expecting huge interest."
The Madonna Nudes will showcase at 19 Earlham Street, Seven Dials, WC2 from 2nd to 19th July. The gallery will be open seven days - Monday to Saturday, 12-7pm, and Sunday 12-6pm.
