A little drawing done of Montreal filmmaker/actor/painter/Coolopolis contributor Stephen Lack, who sadly left us for New York after making a coupla cult klassik flicks, has gone up for auction.
The drawing, at left, is expected to fetch between $400,000 and $600,000.
Why?
Cuz it was drawn by Jean-Michel Basquiat, who was a big deal painter before he died at age 28, whereupon he became an even bigger deal painter.
The drawing no longer belongs to Lack, so I guess he gave it away or sold it already.
Supposedly the proceeds of the painting from the Christie's auction will go to San Francisco charities.
Lack, who was friends with Basquait, explained that the crutch in the corner was a reference to Lack's broken leg at the time.
Apparently he still has a few more doodles if he ever requires to raise some scratch.
"I still find things he did in my drawing books from the day. I think of him every day," wrote Lack on his Facebook page.
