A piece of artwork owned by U2 that was displayed in their recording studio, has now fetched more than �5 millions ($10 million) after going to auction at Sothebys in London yesterday (July 1st).
The piece is named 'Untitled (Pecho/Oreja)' and was bought originally by the Irish rock band 20 years ago in New York, after its creator artist Jean-Michel Basquiat died of a drugs overdose in 1988.
U2 bassist Adam Clayton picked-out this particular artwork, which then found a new home in their Dublin studio.
A spokesman for the auction house said a private buyer bought 'Untitled (Pecho/Oreja)' for �5,081,250.
