As if the action-packed fall art season wasn't sexy enough already, Jerry Hall — world-famous supermodel, actress, and the alleged subject matter of Mick Jagger’s hit love song, “Miss You”— will be selling her collection of contemporary art at Sotheby’s next month. The 14 artworks, which attest to Hall’s glamorous life amidst the avant-garde 1970s and 80s in New York, will be auctioned to coincide with London’s Frieze Art Fair.

As a supermodel, Hall has graced the cover of every magazine from “Cosmopolitan” to Andy Warhol’s “Interview,” and it's no surprise that three of the collection’s most prominent works are indeed depictions of the six-foot-tall and strikingly blond collector herself. The sale's star lot is Lucien Freud’s “Eight Months Gone,” a painting depicting Hall nude and pregnant with her fourth child that is expected to gain well over 300,000 pounds ($462,264), making it the highest-estimated artwork in the collection.According to the Associated Press, the artwork was conceived (yes, that is intended) when Hall and Freud were seated next to each other at a dinner party. Freud asked her to begin posing the next day. 

We consider to track this lot and add to our virtual portfolio.
