Remember that Basquiat painting that I told you a while back was for sale? It’s been taken off the market, after an auction at Christie’s last week. Check the info below…

NEW YORK — A painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat has been sold for $13.5 million at an auction in New York City.

The 1982 painting, “Untitled (Boxer),” 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.

Definitely out of my price range, for real.
