U2 and Art in 2008
October 14, 2008
U2 tickets and the U2 concert tour were preceded by more U2 news this year – namely that the Irish group auctioned off a painting by artist Jean-Michel Basquiat for a multi-million dollar price tag. Adam Clayton discovered the artwork almost two decades ago. U2 bought the painting and hung it in their recording studio. The picture sold for over 6 million Euros. This is yet another example of U2’s fine tastes when it comes to the creative world. The six-foot square painting, which features one of Basquiat’s trademark abstract, chaotic figures, was auctioned off at Sotheby’s. Some U2 associated artwork can be found at U2 Wanderer.org. I recommend you visit the site and check it out!
