America vocal powerhouse Adele has reportedly splashed out
‘tens of thousands’ of dollars on artwork by Andy Warhol. The 24 years old
Skyfall singer recently purchased two rare butterfly canvases by the late pop
artist, British newspaper The Sun reports. A piece entitled Butterfly from the
culture icon’s vanishing animals series sold at a Christie’s auction last year
for $23,750. The Sun was well over the
$10,000 - $15,000 range auction experts were expecting from the colorful 1986
screen print. Adele is still believed to have a paid a pricey sum for her
rumoured new wall Dacor. According to the publication, she spent ‘tens of
thousands of pounds’ on her small and growing collection. Adele and her partner
Simon Konecki had the pair of print delivered to their house in the past month,
a source told The Sun. “the couple are hoping to get more contemporary art for
the walls to add to their collection, including paintings by Damien Hirst and
Bansky,” the insider continued, adding, “The warhols have already been hung in
pride of place on the walls of the living room at the huge house.” The singer seems to be enjoying splurging on
dAcor since she welcomed her first son with Simon last year and began
renovating their $3million mansion in Sussex, England. It was reported earlier
this month she spent over $20,000 on arcade games and pinball machine. “She is
kitting out her place with the latest mod cons”
