Martin H.M. Schreiber photographed the yet unknown Madonna in February 1979 for $30. Four of his shots were later published in Playboy in 1985, and several years later, he used his photographs to compile a book, Madonna Nudes 1979. On May 1 2009, the Impure Art Gallery in Brighton will unveil an exhibition of these rare snapshots in occasion of their 30th anniversary.

Impure Art Gallery, 13 Ship Street Gardens, Brighton. Until June 28 2009.
