If memory serves—and it doesn't always—Helmut Newton's 1983 photograph of a scene from Pina Bausch's ballet The Legend of Virginity (Die Keuschheitslegende) was published in the first issue of the revamped Vanity Fair in March of 1983. A signed print of the image came to auction yesterday with an estimate of $5,000 to $7,000, with the bidding opening at $4,000.

Could it have been the March 1984 issue? No, that's not how I remember it. It turns out I trust my memory more than vanityfair.com.
