This original, never-before-seen nude photograph of Madonna was taken by Cecil Taylor in 1977 at the Art Worlds Institute of Creative Arts in Ann Arbor Michigan. Madonna was 18 and a student at the Institute, still living in Ann Arbor Michigan, before she moved to New York City. The 8 x 12 original silver gelatin print comes with the original 35 millimeter negative. The original photograph does not have the GottaHaveIt.com watermark or the black square that appears on the image shown online. This photograph was shot in a series that is the earliest known nude photographs of Madonna. Very good condition, stamped on the verso by the photographer. The original photograph and negative come with a copy of Madonna's signed release as well as a bio of the photographer and information on the Institute. The seller is transferring copyright. Also comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
