Chris Martin Buys A Banksy Original (Welcome To The Club)

A few nights ago at the Montage Beverly Hills for Sean Penn's Help Haiti Home Gala, musician Chris Martin bought a $650,000 painting on wood of a heart shaped balloon painted by the British street artist Banksy. The Coldplay member and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow were amongst the attendees of this superstar-packed event. Chris Martin went home with the 39 x 48 inches original painting on wood. This 'Heart Balloon' canvas is a newer updated version of the New York City's street piece which appeared in October 2013 during Banksy's month long residency 'Better Out Than In'
