Kate Moss' first masterpiece is up for auction. Her self-portrait, painted with bold strokes of lipstick on a napkin, shows the supermodel smoking a cigarette. The napkin also bears blood stains from Pete Doherty, the troubled rocker she was in a relationship with at the time. Doherty also scrawled "Who needs blood when you've got lipstick?" at the top.
Doherty sold the canvas to an anonymous buyer who received a receipt written on a napkin from Soho House, a private club. The mystery buyer is now selling it. The expected selling price is £30,000-£40,000 or $60,000-70,000.
