Christie's auction house is auctioning off a David Bailey photo of Roman Polanski and then-wife Sharon Tate taken shortly before her murder.

Christie's is estimating that it will sell for between $8,000-$12,000 at the December 7 auction.


"It's an important image," said Laura Paterson, a vice president at Christie's auction house.
"It certainly is provocative because of who the characters are. But it's also a touching naked shot of a happy couple. And Bailey does capture the anything goes flavor of that period." She added.
