Note : Artist's Resale Right (droit de Suite). If the Artist's Resale Right Regulations 2006 apply to this lot, the buyer also agrees to pay us an amount equal to the resale royalty provided for in those Regulations, and we undertake to the buyer to pay such amount to the artist's collection agent.Christie’s charges a premium to the buyer on the Hammer Price of each lot sold at the following rates: 29.75% of the Hammer Price of each lot up to and including €20,000, plus 23.8% of the Hammer Price between €20,001 and €700,000, plus 14.28% of any amount in excess of €700,001. Buyer’s premium is calculated on the basis of each lot individually.THE PUBLIC DISPLAY OF NUDITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY MAIN ARTISTIC INTERESTS, AS WELL AS THE REASONS GIVEN TO JUSTIFY OR BANISH IT. THE TRADITIONAL (MALE) PAINTER USES IT TO PROMOTE HIGHER AESTHETIC VALUES, THE FASHION MODEL TO PROMOTE CLOTHES, THE PORN INDUSTRY TO PROMOTE MASTURBATION, WHILE FILM STARS ONLY DO IT IF ITS PART OF THE STORY. MOST PEOPLE DON'T DO IT AT ALL AND THE TEASER MAKES YOU BEG FOR IT. (M. DUMAS AND A. CORBIJN, STRIPPING GIRLS, AMSTERDAM 2000)
