Famed photographer Peter Beard is gone — but hotter than ever.

Just a month after his mysterious and tragic death on Long Island, Beard’s iconic images of African wildlife and other subjects will go to the auction block.

The 82-year-old photographer — who partied with Mick Jagger, palled around with Andy Warhol and discovered supermodel Iman — was found dead in a wooded area of Camp Hero State Park on April 20. Beard suffered from dementia and had been missing from his cliffside Montauk compound since March 31.

The online Artnet auction, “In Focus: Peter Beard,” touts “a variety of the artist’s signature photo collages depicting endangered wildlife in Africa, ranging from the 1960s through the 1980s.”

“I started reading the story about Peter Beard having disappeared and it was very sad,” Artnet Auctions’ Susanna Wenniger told The Post. Two weeks after his disappearance, Wenniger “thought this would be a time to commemorate him and his work and we have a lot of collectors of his work. … It just seemed like a natural thing to do.”

Wenniger conceded, “I was told this might look bad, that we are trying to take advantage of him. … but I wanted to celebrate his work. He was a brilliant artist.”

Beard’s death is sure to boost sales, according to art expert Lark Mason, who spent 17 years as an Asian Art appraiser on “Antiques Roadshow.”

“Beard’s passing, renewed attention and the boredom of the virus lockdown means more people will be bidding than would be the case, and it’s not unreasonable to expect a bump of 10 to 20 percent over previous prices, and in some cases, more,” Mason said. “Those that will likely do best are the iconic works associated with his style, incorporating animals from his beloved Kenya.”

One work depicting two warriors, “Turkana, Ferguson’s Gulf Spit, Croc-Leg Soup, 1964-1965,” is priced at $40,000 to $60,000.

Beard muse Natalie White is selling two pieces, including, “F. Bacon does Peter does Pam.” The work captures actress Pamela Anderson with ink dripped onto her by Beard’s hands. It’s a double exposed giant Polaroid with film strips of Frances Bacon’s paintings of Beard.

White scoffed at cynics who questioned the motive of the auction.

“These pieces should be shared with the world. I see sharing them with the world as a celebration of Peter. To me the money doesn’t matter. It’s about sharing the work.”

There are 27 lots altogether, with the opening bids ranging from $3,000 to $30,000. The auction began last week and runs until May 21.
