He must be trying to free up some cash for those impending alimony payments!
Johnny Depp is auctioning off multiple pieces from his multimillion dollar art collection, Christie's announced in a press release. The actor will be parting with nine Jean-Michel Basquiat paintings.
"Nothing can replace the warmth and immediacy of Basquiat's poetry, or the absolute questions and truths that he delivered. The beautiful and disturbing music of his paintings, the cacophony of his silence that attacks our senses, will live far beyond our breath," the Pirates of the Carribean star said about the famous artist.
Amber Heard filed for divorce from the A-list star on May 23 after only 15 months of marriage, and the actress immediately took out a restraining order against him after alleging he was physically and emotionally abusive. Depp's camp believe her accusations are a ploy to gain financial security and access to his reported $400 million fortune. They are due in court June 17.
It must suck to have to sell all your treasures!
