French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's nude photo sold for US$91,000 at Christie's

New York-based auction house Christie's sold the nude photograph of the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy for a high of US$91,000 - more than 20 times of the estimated price. The black-and-white picture, which was taken in 1993 in New York, featured Italian songwriter-singer-model turned French first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, posing topless with her hands covering her most intimate body part.

In the auction which was conducted a couple of days ago, it was a Chinese art collector who bought the nude photograph, which was taken about 15 years ago by photographer Michel Comte.
