| The portrait |
Stephen Colbert, the host of Comedy Central is attempting a new role in his life. His interest in art dealing lead to a the announcement of Comedy Central on this Friday stating that their host of "The Colbert Report" is himself auctioning his work. The announcement declared that he will put one of his portraits up for auctioning which he himself decorated in comically self-aggrandizing style and is tidied as "Portrait 5, Stephen(s)."
Moreover to boost its worth and to make it its market more valuable, artists like Frank Stella, Shepard Fairey and Andrew Serrano each added their bit to the portrait as well during sometime in December. The portrait is scheduled to be auctioned of the 8th of March in the auction house of Phillips de Pury & Company, with proceeds going to DonorsChoose.org.
On the other hand another portrait of Colbert was being displayed at the Washington National Portrait Gallery in 2008Colbert has now embraced the art world ever more and claims that he is recently going to be the elusive graffiti artist Banksy.
