He’s just caused a near riot photographing Mischa Barton topless licking a raw steak, and now Hollywood artist Tyler Shields is about to do his most controversial work yet - shooting motor-racing heiress Tamara Ecclestone au naturel and covered in £1million worth of banknotes.
Tyler, 29, who is on a flying visit to London for the Frieze Art Fair, met Formula 1 tycoon Bernie Ecclestone’s daughter at Marylebone’s Imitate Modern Gallery when his show, Well Hung, opened.
“Tamara agreed to pose naked with her own money in £50 notes - but her boyfriend will have to check how much is in the safe first,” reveals Tamara’s chum, gallery owner Fallon Khan.
Shields, who is dating Clint Eastwood’s daughter Francesca, says: “I’m so excited. I’ve had this idea for a long time but I never thought I would find anybody rich enough who would agree to do it. It has a serious point, it will be saying however rich you are, you are still a normal person - whether you have £1 or a billion. Tamara’s sweet, she’s normal.”
For her part, Tamara tells me that it will be up to her stockbroker boyfriend Omar Khyami to find the cash for the shoot. “I never carry money, but hopefully Tyler won’t need £1million to cover me, otherwise I will need to go on a diet.” - Daily Mail
