Cindy Crawford spent $30,000 on a nude portrait.
The 48-year-old supermodel and her businessman husband of 16-years Rande Gerber splashed out the huge sum on a fine-art photograph of naked omen wearing horses’ heads by Brian Bowel Smith, the New York Post newspaper’s PageSix reports.
The couple – who recently attended Cindy’s close pal George Clooney’s wedding to British human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, nee Alamuddin, were in attendance at Smith’s first show at the De Re Gallery in Los Angeles, California earlier this week.
Smith is the protégé of the late fashion photographer Herb Ritts, for whom Crawford posed for some of her most famous nude and fashion shots, most notably the famed ‘Stephanie, Cindy, Christy, Tatjana, Naomi, Hollywood, 1989’ feature for Rolling Stone magazine.
His debut collection, titled ‘Wildlife’, features nude women wearing animal masks, with the identity of each subject – who are said to be celebrities, actors and models – kept secret.
Other famous faces in attendance at the event included Hilary Swank, Adrien Brody, Tyra Banks, Naya Rivera, Demi Moore, Tallulah Willis and Michelle Rodriguez, among others, sparking speculation that some of them may have posed for the nude portraits.
