Ok, well not literally! But as part of this year’s Brighton Festival Fringe, Impure Art Gallery is exhibiting an exclusive early series of Madonna photos.
In 1979 the as yet unknown 20 year old Madonna posed nude for just $30 for New York photographer Martin Schreiber. Later when she had become a global icon the shots appeared in Playboy, catapulting Schreiber to fame.
30 years on the original photographs are now available to the public exclusively from the Impure Art Gallery.
Witness a unique part of pop history
The series of black and white photographs of Madonna show her as the exceptionally beautiful young woman she was and the exhibition offers a fantastic opportunity to catch a significant part of pop history.
A lifetime of photos
Schreiber has spent a lifetime taking photographs. He first developed his eye and technical abilities in the US military. During this period he worked freelance for the New York Times. In 1971 he won honourable mention in the first Life Magazine photography contest.
Impure Art – daring exhibitions in the heart of Brighton
IMPURE ART has fast acquired a reputation for daring and exciting shows of extremely high quality. The gallery, in Brighton’s famous Lanes, represents over 100 local, national and international artists.
The exhibition of Madonna photos runs from May 1st – June 28th.
