A series of saucy black and white photographs of Madonna are to go on display at a Brighton gallery.

The pictures were taken in 1979 by New York photographer Martin Schreiber who paid the then unknown singer just $30 – about £21.

The photos were later published in Playboy.

Thirty years later, the original shots are to be displayed exclusively at the Impure Art Gallery in Ship Street Gardens, Brighton.

Co-owner Jamie McCartney said: “It’s very exciting to be exhibiting these for our first anniversary exhibition.”

There will be limited edition photographs, along with copies of the original Playboy magazine, books, posters, postcards and other memorabilia.

The exhibition runs from May 1 to June 28. For more information go to www.impureart.com
