Today, Brighton's Impure Art in London is opening the most important exhibit it's ever displayed. It's an exhibition of nudes by a 20-year-old Madonna - she's fifty now.

They describe themselves as "the most intriguing, controversial and sexy art gallery in the UK". The show runs through the 19th.

Madonna got $30 to pose for these pictures at Parsons School of Design in 1979. The prints are being offered for sale by photographer Martin Schreiber for $5572 each (3400 british pounds). Some of the pictures were published in the September 1985 Playboy, and in a 1990 book.

A Groucho Take

Whenever I hear of high prices for pictures of nekkid wimmen, I am reminded of the film "I Am Curious - Yellow", a foreign flick which was screened by daring theatres across the US about 1968 or so. At that time, it cost about 75c to see most movies, but admission to IACY was $5.

Groucho said that he went to see the movie, but when he got to the theatre, he saw the price, and went back home. He took off his clothes and stood before the mirror. It wasn't worth the $5, he decided.
