Nude Madonna Painting Fails To Sell
Article published: Sun, 31 May 2009 11:55:41AM
An oil painting depicting Madonna in the nude with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie failed to meet the reserve price of £15,000 when it went under the hammer at an auction in Glasgow.
The portrait did attract some bids, but not enough to satisfy the seller.
Brian Clements, Director at McTears Auctioneers, said: "Surprisingly Peter Howson's controversial piece Madonna and Guy did not sell on the day.
"The painting is still for sale and we would be delighted to hear from anyone who is interested in this much talked about piece of Scottish art history."
The portrait was being sold by a private collector and was expected to reach £22,000.
Painted in 2005, Madonna & Guy is one of several Howson paintings of the pop icon in a state of undress.
