London, Dec 4 (IANS) Action star Sylvester Stallone has made a splash in the art world as one of his paintings was sold for $50,000.
Imdb.com reports that the “Rambo” star has been a part-time painter for 30 years and his hobby is fast turning into a profitable venture.
A collection of Stallone’s paintings recently went on display at an art gallery in Miami, Florida and one abstract piece caught the eye of Las Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn who handed over $40,000 (?225,000) for the art work.
A self-portrait of Stallone from the 1970s was snapped up by an art gallery boss for $50,000.
