Nude Gisele, Kate pics to go under hammer
Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen are among several celebrities featured in a stunning collection of photography which is set to go under the hammer Christie's auction house in New York.
Athletic Giselle Bundchen goes au natural with bronzed skin and tousled locks for this Irving Penn portrait which is part of an extensive private collection being auctioned off by Christie's New York, next month.
Supermodel Kate's photo is expected to fetch 30,000-40,000 U.S. dollars at auction, as is Brazilian Gisele's.
A woman hangs a 1996 photographic portrait of an innocent, unspoilt Kate Moss by Irving Penn. The auction of pictures of Kate Moss, Gisele Bundchen and other celebrities will take place at Christie's auction house in New York on April 10.
The photographs are taken from collector Gert Elfering extensive collection which will be auctioned off at Christie's next month.
It's expected to fetch in excess of 2-3 million.
Among the images on offer are portraits of 60s icon Brigitte Bardot and a reclining nude of American actress Lauren Hutton and a set of four psychedelic Beatles portraits all by celebrated fashion photographer Richard Avedon.
Elfering, 49, one of the world's foremost collectors of 20th-century photography, owns iconic prints by such greats as Helmut Newton, Avedon, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Guy Bourdin, Cindy Sherman, Diane Arbus and legendary photographer Horst P. Horst.
He first encountered the work of Horst in the early Eighties when the then 25-year-old German walked into Hamilton's Gallery while vacationing in London.
Elfering recalled he was instantly taken with the dramatic portraits but was unable to afford even a single print.
Instead, he left with a book and a poster. In 1998 he acquired the complete Horst archive.
"It just shows," says Elfering, "how times can change."
"I started with a book and a poster, then moved on to smaller prints, then more expensive ones, and finally the estate," says Elfering.
And now he's letting most of it go - 135 lots - in a sale in New York on April 10, 2008.
But not before giving the public a chance to see them one more time.
U.S. actress Kate Bosworth, who plays Lois Lane, smiles as she arrives for the British premiere of "Superman Returns" at the Odeon cinema in Leicester Square, central London July 13, 2006. 
Kate Moss now is the new spokesmodel for French leather and luxury brand Longchamp.

Bryan Singer Back For Superman Sequel
Bryan Singer will be back for a sequel to the hugely successful Superman Returns.
“That movie made $400 million!” Singer tells Empire Online incredulously. “I don’t know what constitutes under-performing these days…Look, I can understand, I suppose, what some people mean. Perhaps some people went in with the expectation of it being like an X-Men film, and Superman is a tougher character than that. Especially bringing him back. It really goes back to the fact that you can only please some of the people some of the time. But, yes, I’m just getting back with writers after the strike. We’re just in the development phase. I’m starting to develop a sequel…with the intention of directing it.”
“The first one was a romantic film and a nostalgic film,” he adds. “I’ll be the first person to own up to that without making any apologies for it. I knew it was going to be that from the outset. And now that the characters are established, there’s really an opportunity to up the threat levels…Clearly there’ll be a body count [laughs]. From frame one, it will be unrelenting terror! All those teenage girls who found the movie and mooned over James Marsden or Brandon [Routh]? Well, I’m going to wake them up!”
