Blue Ivy Carter gets into a $20K art bidding war with Tyler Perry

Published

It’s no surprise that Blue Ivy has expensive taste.

On Saturday, Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s daughter showed she’s a true fan of fine art (or just teasing her parents) by throwing her paddle into a bidding war, and offering $17,000 on a painting of Sidney Poitier. It was all part of the Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles, organized by Blue’s grandparents, Tina Knowles and husband Richard Lawson.

“Y’all made me come from behind the podium, because Blue was out there bidding,” said Star Jones, who served as the event’s auctioneer.

After Blue made the initial bid, Tyler Perry countered with $18K for the Poitier piece.

Blue came back with $19K, as Jay-Z jokingly tried to take her arm down.

Finally, the art was sold to Perry for a cool $20K.

The exchange was caught in a video shared by @alrhemist.

However, Vanity Fair reports that Blue, in a gold wig that matched her mother’s outfit, didn’t stop her bidding there. She won a different item at the auction: a $10K art piece made of deconstructed law and medical books.

Other highlights of the fund-raising event included humanitarian awards given to Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s mother, Gloria Carter.

The gala benefits the WACO (Where Art Can Occur) Theater Center, which provides teen mentorship programs and a place for expression through theater and art.
