Hugh Grant has parted with yet another Liz - this time it's Andy Warhol's protrait of the screen legend Liz Taylor.
Though Grant's reps and even Christie's spokesperson refuse to comment on whether the the portrait really did belong to the Micky Blue Eyes star (one wonders why), the auction house did confirm that the painting sold for $23 million. It is suprisingly much lower than the pre-sales estimate of $25 million dollars.
But Grant, if he did indeed sell the painting (he bought it for £2 million), had no worries about making a profit, because, accodring to Hello magazine, Christie's had assured him £10 million even if bidding wasn't as fierce.
Whatever the case, Grant defiantely has made a profit.
