Sylvester Stallone Makes A Deal

Yesterday was a good day for Sylvester Stallone. The action star turned artist unloaded two of his original paintings yesterday at Art Basel in Miami – and made a whopping $90,000! An abstract piece was purchased by hotel mogul Steve Wynn for $40,000 and a self-portrait from the 70s was purchased by an art gallery for $50,000. Sylvester’s work was shown at Zurich based Gmurzynska Gallery, in the same space as Colombian legend Fernando Botero. “I’m not just painting for painting’s sake. I want to be truthful,” Sly told reporters of his work. Not bad for his first gallery show! [Photo: Splash News Online]
