Madonna and Guy nude painting finally sells
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 10 June 2009
That hideous nude painting of Madonna and Guy Ritchie by Peter Howson has been sold.
As previously reported, the painting failed to sell at auction last month, possibly because people had seen it. However, someone did bid more than the £15,000 reserve price when it was offered by McTear’s Auctioneers in Glasgow for a second time this week.
Presumably the anonymous buyer plans to destroy it for the good of mankind. I mean, would you want this on your wall?
Brian Clements from McTear’s told the BBC: “We were very confident we would find the right buyer for ‘Madonna And Guy’ and we are delighted to have secured such an excellent price for the painting. Although we cannot divulge the name of the buyer, we can confirm that the painting will be leaving Scotland”. Lucky Scotland.
