imageCarla Bruni-Sarkozy -- the newly minted wife to French president Nicolas Sarkozy -- is visiting the UK today along with her husband. Coincidentally, London-based auction house Christie's announced that, in April, they would be auctioning off a nude photo of the first lady of France. The photo, taken in 1993 by photographer Michel Comte, is estimated at $3,000 to $4,000 in value. For more on the lady in question before her marriage to Sarkozy, check out our interview with Carla Bruni in the April issue of BlackBook.
