Madonna And Guy


Unfortunatelly, Peter Howson was not able to sell his unique “Madonna and Guy” at Glasgow’s art dealing auction, which was organised by the McTear’s Auctioneers and Valuers, said New Musical Express. A canvas which shows naked Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie in the grotesque form did not inspire buyers to purchase it. This painting received a few requests, but none of it was able to reach the required price of fifteen thousand pounds. Surely, Howson’s painting is a little bit odd and strange, even offensive at some point. However, it’s possible that some time later, after many years will pass, it shall be worthed on the right level. Many controversial works of art such as this one did not get enough attention in the beginning, but later were considered to be something very special. “Madonna and Guy” is still avalable for purchase, however McTear’s is not going to continue to put it on auction anymore. They just lost any hope to make it big right now. “Madonna and Guy” was created in 2005 and was immediately included into Howson’s collection of paintings where Madonna is not showing any clothing. Among those who possess this artist’s other paintings are popular musicians such as Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Madonna herself.
