Pete Doherty buys £5,000 portrait of ex-girlfriend Kate Moss
The Babyshambles frontman purchased an oil painting of the supermodel from
artist Sam Shaker after performing at a private concert in London bar After
Dark.
Pete commissioned the painting last May, when he and Kate were still
together, but failed to pay Shaker the £300 he was charging.
So it hung on the wall of the After Dark club, which Shaker runs, and was
set to be auctioned for charity until Pete finally decided he wanted it.
However, Shaker decided the painting, named Beauty, had rocketed in value
and increased the price to £5,000.
The 29-year-old rocker, who was performing alongside DJ Peaches Geldof, also
purchased paintings of him and Sir Paul McCartney and one of friend Amy
Winehouse.
