The piece in question was a painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat named Air Power, and another piece by the same artist was sold for $3 million (£2.4 million). The pieces in the first round of the auctions sold for an incredible $30 million (£24 million). Back in June, a clipping of the music icon's hair sold for $18,000 (or £13,700) when it went under the hammer at Heritage Auctions in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
