Madonna Celebrates 30th Anniversary of Controversial Book 'Sex': Auctions Signed Reissued; Copies' Proceeds Go to Charity

Back in 1992, Madonna unveiled her most controversial work yet-"Sex," the coffee table book that shook pop culture and the world for its explicit pictures.

Now, 30 years later, she's taking a walk down memory lane by celebrating its anniversary in a big way.

According to the Daily Mail UK, the "Like A Virgin" singer teamed up with curator, Anthony Vaccarello, in holding an exhibition at the Saint Laurent beachfront gallery.

The exhibition is scheduled to be held from November 29 to December 4, however, reports also noted that it is open to anyone over the age of 18, for free admissions.

The 64-year-old's book, after all, is quite explicit, and one can only presume that the exhibit will take after the book.

Moreover, reports noted that the exhibit will feature pictures by Steven Miesel. The gallery will be filled with large-format pictures from the book itself, taken by the aforementioned photographer. Fans can also bring remembrances from the merch shop, which includes shirts, totes, and more.

Reissued Copies For Charity

Collector fans should hurry because Madonna's reissued copies of "Sex" are in limited stocks.

Only 800 copies were published, and some of that number will be signed by the Queen of Pop herself, which is to be auctioned off for charity.

According to Wonderland Magazine, Madonna's very own Raising Malawi charity will benefit from the funds.

Raising for Malawi was founded by the singer back in 2006, and it supports orphans and vulnerable children who lack critical resources, which include education, medical care, food and shelter, as well as psychosocial support.

Madonna has been actively supporting this charity and has launched several projects since its founding. According to its website, the pop star has launched programs to empower the children.

Madonna announced the exciting news through her social media accounts, sharing several pictures of herself in a corset.

Fans are thrilled to hear that the "Vogue" singer is finally coming up with another project.

"Don't you think it's time for the Sex world tour? Just imagine a setlist with all your songs," a fan commented.

Another fan whined, noting that the book would not be widely available for everyone, "Only available for a small amount of wealthy people. We need wide release, Mom."

"I hope it contains new pictures of you as you are right now. People need to see that sex is not over when you're 40-50 or 60. Sex is for everyone. That'd be as transgressive as its first release," another one added.
