A fleshy, life-sized nude portrait by U.K. artist Lucien Freud fetched more than $30 million US at a Christie's auction in New York Tuesday night and set a new record for the sale of a work by a living artist.
Benefits Supervisor Sleeping, Freud's 1995 painting of a sleeping, naked woman, sold to an anonymous buyer for $33.6 million US (including the auction house commission).
The portrait depicts a civil servant named Sue Tilley asleep on a worn sofa. Tilley has said she posed for the acclaimed, 85-year-old artist over several years during the early 1990s.
"I think he probably picked me because he got value for money. He got a lot of flesh," Tilley said in an interview.
Benefits Supervisor Sleeping soared above the past record holder, the $23.6 million US sale of the Jeff Koons' sculpture Hanging Heart (Magenta and Gold) at Sotheby's in New York in November 2007.
The top lot at the New York auction, which focused on postwar and contemporary art, was a 1952 Mark Rothko painting that sold for $50.4 million US. The evening also saw a Francis Bacon work, Studies for Self Portrait, cross the block for more than $28 million US.

A buddy dated an art major in college once and she tried everything to get me to model for a class. No fricking way. I don't even get a massage or pedicure any more for fear that Mr. Uncontrollable becomes uncontrolled. It happened before and I almost broke out in hives I was so embarrassed. She said that male models have never become erect in class before and she doubts that I would as well. Sorry, Marissa, I can't take that chance. I modeled for her, but not nude. I even still have a few sketches that she did of me.

And I guess I would be too modest now to even consider it.

Oh sure. I would totally model for Lucien Freud. That would be great. Especially if he traded my modeling for one of his paintings. lol.

Not nude, but I have modelled before. It's a lot harder than it looks!!!!

A UK view on this topic - Peter's Nudist Page - Nude Modelling

thks, nice site.

I would do it in a heartbeat! No one is asking tho : (

I've done some nude modeling for a photographer.....even got it hard so he could shoot me in all my glory.

What method did he use to get it hard?

Absofuckinglutly. I do not have a great body but to be captured for immortality by a great artist would be amazing.

Oh you don't need to have a great body!
This is the 30m painting;

And, don't do it for the money. Freud paid his muse only £ 3,- an hour...

dawn french and a pissed up painter...

Not Lucian, but somewhat related: There is a photographer out of New York who has been collecting photographs of hung guys from all across the country for years now. I have a friend in NYC who worked with him about five years ago. I think he was eventually going to publish a book. This thread reminded me of his work.

I've done some nude modelling in the past, so not a problem for me.

No, I would not.
