Eric Clapton Buys Entire $120,000 Collection Of Graffiti Art

Lee Quinones, the legendary New York graffiti artist who was one of the first street artists to move from murals to canvases, has a great 12-painting series on display at PS1 this summer. But don't even think about hanging one of those on your DJ booth wall - the entire collection was apparently snapped up by Eric Clapton for $120,000.

(Update: Limited edition set of prints is available - see Lee Quinones' email below.)

The 12 paintings depict classic break beat records - like James Brown's Sax Machine, the Incredible Bongo Band's Bongo Rock, and Shaft in Africa - each being tucked away by quick fingered DJs.
