Eight tons for 248 skateboards

A large private collection of skateboards has generated $ 800,000 at an auction at Sotheby's.

There are mostly colorful images on the so-called decks. In a number of cases there has been collaboration with artists such as Damien Hirst, George Condo and Jeff Koons and graffiti artist Rammellzee from New York. The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci was depicted on a five-part series.
