Million dollar baby

Last week a portrait of supermodel Kate Moss by Lucian Freud sold for GBP3.9 million. An anonymous telephone bidder bought the painting, titled "Naked Portrait 2002", at auction at Christie's in London after a heated bidding match.

Moss, who had once announced that it was her life's ambition to be portraited by the German born Freud, sat for the artist for months. She was pregnant with her daughter Lila Grace during the sittings.

Another painting by Freud, "A Red-Haired Man on a Chair" sold for GBP4.15 million. A spokeswoman for Christie's told Yahoo: "We are delighted with the results of th sale of the two works by Freud, painted exactly 40 years apart."
