If I was a famous rock star, worth hundreds of millions, and Andreas Gursky gave me a photograph of one of my most historic concerts, I’d probably keep it.

Apparently Madonna doesn’t feel the same way.

She may be the original ‘Material Girl,’ with a taste for art collecting, but Gursky’s nine-foot tall photograph of a Madonna concert, which the photographer had given to Madonna as a gift, is up for sale at Sotheby’s in London on Feb. 10. Madonna I‘s pre-sale estimate is 900,000 to 1.3 million pounds, or up to $2.1 million.

The edition selling at Sotheby’s is dedicated “For Madonna” on the reverse side. Nevertheless, Madonna — who is known to have a taste for Kahlo, Picasso and others — either gave away or sold the photo in 2005, according Sotheby’s catalog. That person — could it be ex-husband Guy Ritchie?–is the now selling the piece at auction.

Gursky shot Madonna’s Sept. 13, 2001, sold-out Drowned World Tour, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The show had been originally scheduled for Sept. 11 and was postponed in the wake of terrorist attacks.

Gursky photographed Madonna from above, creating a dramatic composition where the singer is surrounded by an overwhelming sea of fans. She is the tiny figure on the lower left, illuminated by spotlights. Gursky, who usually makes six editions, plus an artist’s proof, made an extra artist’s proof and gave one to Madonna.

This is the first time this image has come up for sale at auction, according to the Artnet pricing database. Gursky’s auction record remains $3.3 million for the 2001 supermarket scene, 99 cent II, achieved in at Sotheby’s in London in 2007.
