According to The Evening Standard, the website temporarily crashed due to the volume of people trying to purchase the actor’s work.A post shared by Johnny Depp (@johnnydepp)Individual framed portraits were sold for £3,950 each, while the complete portfolio of four portraits cost £14,950.Speaking about his collection, Depp said: “I’ve always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends and people I admire.
My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves.”Earlier this month, Depp released a collaborative album with Jeff Beck called ‘18’.
The tracklist includes covers of The Beach Boys ‘Caroline, No’, The Velvet Underground’s ‘Venus In Furs’ and The Killing Joke track ‘The Death And Resurrection Show’.In June this year Depp won his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard and was awarded $10million (£8million) in compensatory damages and $5million in punitive damages.
