Tomorrow, Sotheby’s is holding a ‘Photographs’ sale in London and it might be a good time for art collectors to take advantage of the thoroughly depressed art market. Nude works by Helmet Newton are among the auction’s highlights, as well as images from David LaChapelle, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Erwin Olaf among others. After the jump is a decidedly not safe for work gallery of some choice photos that are estimated to fetch between $5000 and $30,000, but will likely sell for less.
