ADELE SPLASHES OUT ON WARHOL ART

America vocal powerhouse Adele has reportedly splashed out ‘tens of thousands’ of dollars on artwork by Andy Warhol. The 24 years old Skyfall singer recently
purchased two rare butterfly canvases by the late pop artist, British newspaper The Sun reports. A piece entitled Butterfly from
the culture icon’s vanishing animals series sold at a Christie’s auction last year for $23,750. The Sun was well over the $10,000 - $15,000 range auction experts were
expecting from the colorful 1986 screen print. Adele is still believed to have a paid a pricey sum for her rumoured new
wall Dacor. According to the publication, she spent ‘tens of thousands of pounds’ on her small and growing collection.
Adele and her partner Simon Konecki had the pair of print delivered to their house in the past month, a source told The Sun. “the couple are hoping to get more contemporary art for the walls to add to their collection, including paintings by Damien Hirst and Bansky,” the insider
continued, adding, “The warhols have already been hung in pride of place on the walls of the living room at the huge
house.”  The singer seems to be enjoying splurging on dAcor since she welcomed her first son with Simon last year and began renovating their $3million mansion in
Sussex, England. It was reported earlier this month she spent over $20,000 on arcade games and pinball machine. “She is kitting out her place with the latest mod cons”
