A nude photo of Carla Bruni failed to raise any excitement at a recent Paris auction. The German seller withdrew the black-and-white nude from sale after the bidding only reached $8,600, the Huffington Post reports. Another copy of the same photo of the French president's wife fetched $91,000 at a Christie's auction last year.
