Depp, who is currently embroiled in allegations of domestic abuse from his estranged wife Amber Heard, is auctioning the paintings ahead of the sure-to-be costly divorce, although Christie’s says the sale has been planned since the beginning of this year.

“Nothing can replace the warmth and immediacy of Basquiat’s poetry, or the absolute questions and truths that he delivered,” Depp wrote of his love of the the artists work, as quoted in the auctioneers press release.”The beautiful and disturbing music of his paintings, the cacophony of his silence that attacks our senses, will live far beyond our breath,” he added.

Another Basquiat painting, an Untitled canvas, was recently snapped up by Yusaku Maezawa for $57.3 million at Christie’s New York in May, setting a new record for the artist at auction. Depp’s Basquiat, which is titled Pork (1981), has a more modest presale estimate of £2,500,000-3,500,000 ($3,600,000-5,000,000).

A work from European titan Gerhard Richter is also a top lot. Richter’s 1994, Abstraktes Bild (811-2) will go under the hammer with a presale estimate available only on request, but as the world’s most expensive living painter, the price is sure to be steep.
