At an auction in London, Kate Moss’s portrait has been sold for a amount over $191,000. I swear this is going insane, because for that much price, Kate Moss would have met you in person.
The portrait, which was inspired by Andy Warhol's iconic portrait of Marilyn Monroe, was one of 75 pieces of ''urban art'' on sale, Bonhams auction house said.
''By definition (urban art) is an ephemeral art form, often disappearing as fast as it appears,'' Gareth Williams, senior picture specialist at Bonhams, said Tuesday. ''By transposing their images from street wall to canvas, urban artists are now creating a permanent legacy.''
