DiCaprio Buys Dalí

May 6, 2011 by Marion Maneker

The New York Post identifies Leonardo DiCaprio as the bidder on a few Picassos and the buyer of a Dalí at Christie’s this week:

“He bid on the Picassos, but it was clear the Dali was what he wanted,” said Rachel Stekson, 23, who works in a Manhattan gallery. “He turned around and was like, ‘Yes!’ ”

DiCaprio’s acquisition, the surrealist “Chevaliers en parade,” depicts a knight and is signed by the artist. The star also owns a Jean-Michel Basquiat.
