Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus to Auction Banksy Painting That Could Fetch $6 Million

Blink-182's Mark Hoppus will auction a rare Banksy painting, titled "Crude Oil (Vettriano)," on March 4.

Hoppus, who acquired the artwork with his wife Skye in 2011, said the piece has held great value to his family, and has been displayed in his Los Angeles living room and hung by their breakfast table in their London home. Hoppus, the bassist of the skate-punk band, will donate part of the funds to the California Fire Foundation, the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and Cedars Sinai Hematology Oncology Research. The auction will also include works by Pablo Picasso, Yoshimoto Nara, Anthony Gormley, and Roy Lichtenstein.
