Watch: Jennifer Hudson sings 'I Will Always Love You' at Grammys

Model Jerry Hall plans to auction off 14 of her artworks next month, including a famous portrait by Lucian Freud that shows her nude when she was eight months pregnant.

The auction by Sotheby's will also include works by Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, David Bailey and other prominent artists collected by Hall, ex-wife of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger.

The auction house said on Monday the works will be sold on October 15-16 as part of a larger contemporary art sale.

Sotheby's says the Lucian Freud portrait called Eight Months Gone is the centrepiece of the auction and is expected to fetch more than STG300,000 ($A505,135).

The collection also includes two other works by Freud, often acclaimed as one of the world's greatest living painters.
