Photos of Lady Gaga, Robert Redford, and Prince up for auction at Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood Benefit.

Exclusive images featuring Lady Gaga, Robert Redford, and Prince are now available for bidding through Milk Studios PHOTO25 auction. The Lady Gaga photograph, taken by Tyler Curtis at Chicagos Manor Nightclub in 2008 and titled Disco Stick, has an opening bid of $800.

The Robert Redford portrait was shot by Greg Gorman at Sydney Pollacks residence for Time magazine in 1986. Meanwhile, Prince is captured by Randee St. Nicholas sleeping on a train in Japan in 1992. St. Nicholas had been flown to Kyoto by the musician for a photoshoot, which ended unexpectedly when his management requested she leave late at night due to budget limits.

All proceeds from the auction will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood, an organization serving local youth for 85 years by offering programs in literacy, academics, leadership, health, wellness, sports, technology, music, and the arts.

Additional notable photographs up for auction include Dolly Parton, David Bowie, Dennis Hopper, Divine, David Lynch, Deborah Harry, David Hockney, and a black-and-white shot of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta on the set of Grease.

Bidding is open online at artsy.net, and a VIP preview will take place at Milk Studios LA in Los Angeles on December 9. Doors open at 6 p.m., with the live auction starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at givebutter.com.

The PHOTO auction series, which began nearly ten years ago, supports charities including STORIES: The Foundation for the AIDS Monument and Project Angel Food, in addition to the Boys & Girls Club of Hollywood.
