Miss Moss: vintage snapshots to be auctioned off
by Floor Serbrock posted on May 19, 2010Black and white pictures of a skinny, hunched, and naked Kate Moss are being auctioned off this Friday at Christie’s for an estimated worth of €43000. Albert Watson photographed the then-19-year-old back in Marrakech, and only now is the contact sheet of 14 photo’s being offered to the public (for a hefty fee, of course).
My housemate pops in at this very moment, peering over my shoulder, initiating the nervous-making process. “That’s boring. How long has she been around for? 30 years?”
Not quite. But almost. Twenty-two years; discovered in 1988 at the age of 14, Kate Moss has been a pop culture and fashion muse for over two decades. Some can’t see what the big deal about her is and - dare I even utter it - even call her ugly, others continue to be mesmerized by her beauty, a beauty that I interpret as a very rare mixture of innocence and sensuality.
I suppose my housemate falls into the first category just mentioned (aka Kate-bigots). Though I wouldn’t pay €43000 for some snapshots even if I had it, considering Kate’s cultural status I don’t deny the merit of these photos as art. And thus worthy of €43000? Well that’s another discussion.
