Johnny Depp Makes £3m in Hours Through Sales of His Art
Hollywood actor, Johnny Depp has made about £3 million just a few hours after announcing that his art collection was available for sale.
The actor sold 780 pieces through Castle Fine Art’s 37 galleries, including in London’s Covent Garden, within hours of announcing the sale on Instagram.
The ‘Friends And Heroes’ collection depicts people who have inspired him, including Rolling Stone Keith Richards and Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor.
“I’ve always used art to express my feelings,” the 59-year-old said.
“My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves.”
The actor said he used his art, which also depicted actor Al Pacino and folk legend Bob Dylan, to “reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends and people I admire”.
All 780 pieces sold within hours with framed individual images going for £3,950 and the complete portfolio of four images selling for £14,950.
