__Christie’s to auction a Leica M6 TTL

On 28 November 2001, Christie’s will be auctioning in Paris
a unique Leica M6 TTL rangefinder camera designed by
William Klein, along with one of the artist’s Painted Contact
works. Proceeds from the joint event will be donated to the
French foundation ‚Reporters sans frontières‘ (RSF). For
the camera body and the LEICA f 1.4/35mm SUMMILUX-M
ASPH lens William Klein chose an anthracite finish,
combined with snakeskin of a protected Asian species for
which a limited catch is authorised. Klein’s name is
engraved in red on the top plate of the camera. The motto
of the organisation – „Il n‘ y pas de liberté sans liberté de la
presse“ (There is no freedom without press freedom) - is
engraved on the back of the camera in black.
