The Most Expensive Artworks That Celebrities Own
Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi – “Ovine Sheep Pieces” by François-Xavier Lalanne ($1 Million)
Featured in the 2022 documentary “Celebrating Betty White: America’s Golden Girl,” the TV host Ellen DeGeneres is said to be an avid art collector. Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi invested millions in pieces made by artists as renowned as Diego Giacometti and Ruth Asawa. But in 2020, the power couple decided to auction off $10 million worth of artwork from their private collection.
The auction’s standout artwork was “Ovine Sheep Pieces,” a series of sheep sculptures produced by François-Xavier Lalanne that outlets such as Mirror described as “bizarre.” Lalanne’s high-end sheep retail from 500K to as much as $1 million apiece.
