johnny depp artwork: Johnny Depp sells his artwork for over $3.6 mn in hours, art gallery's website crashes

London, July 28, 2022 -Johnny Depp on Thursday sold a collection of prints he forced of Hollywood and rock icons for around £3 million via a UK gallery chain.

The 59-year-old "Pirates of the Caribbean" star has finished millions on a bitter legal battle with his ex-wife, the 36-year-old actress Amber Heard.

Depp wrote on Instagram on Thursday morning that the prints were touching on sale online at Castle Fine Art, which runs a network of UK galleries.

The art retailer posted a photo of Depp operational on a portrait of singer Bob Dylan.

It said that the collection of prints requested 'Friends & Heroes' was "a testament to those he has celebrated well and others who have inspired him as a person".

The gallery quoted Depp as saying: "My paintings surround my life, but I kept them to myself and shrimp myself. No one should ever limit themselves."

The works depict Dylan, the late actress Elizabeth Taylor, actor Al Pacino and Rolling Stone Keith Richards.

The gallery chain later posted a tweet speaking that "Johnny Depp broke the internet" and its website had collapsed due to demand.

All the prints were marked as "out of stock" by Thursday evening. There were 780 pieces of art.

Buyers paid £14,950 for a set of all four framed prints or £3,950 for a single brand.

Depp in June won an award of $10 million in a defamation case alongside Heard in the United States, while she won $2 million in costs after counter-suing.

Heard is appealing against the verdict of the jury alight, which was live-streamed to millions and featured lurid and populate details about the former couple's private lives.

Depp previously lost a libel case alongside the British tabloid The Sun in London in 2020 for calling him a "wife-beater".

In unexperienced creative venture, the actor this month released an album with English rocker Jeff Beck.

The recount has been poorly reviewed by critics but broke into the top 40 in the UK.
