Basquiat

Acrylic and oil paintstick on linen painting 'Untitled (Boxer)' by Jean-Michel Basquiat has been sold for $13.5 million at an auction in New York City.
The 1982 painting, was consigned to Christie's auction house by Lars Ulrich, drummer for Metallica. Christie's didn't identify the buyer.
The painting shows a black heavyweight fighter with his arms thrust in the air against a white graffiti-filled background. It surpassed its pre-auction estimate of more than $12 million.
The current auction record for a Basquiat is $14.6 million for "Untitled," which sold at Sotheby's last year.
I find it especially interesting that it was Lars Ulrich that sold the painting. I knew he was into art but not at this level.
