Leonardo DiCaprio spent more than 45 minutes in a private room haggling over the price of an $850,000 Basquiat drawing at Art Basel Miami.

. . . .

The 1983 Jean-Michel Basquiat work, titled “Wire,” measures 76 x 56 cm and is signed and titled on the reverse and features a figure looking at a fly with the words on corresponding parts “teeth,” “liver” “knee,” and a quite [sic] “keep your hands off that wire.”

. . . .

. . .  his art advisor, Lisa Schiff, led Leo towards the Basquiat drawing.

A witness said, “It seemed like they had a plan beforehand. They brought the work into a private room with Leo, the advisor, and slowly the hat-clad entourage also poured in.

“Two blonde models who looked very much Leo’s type came and talked to his posse for a bit,” says the spy.

After about 45 minutes Leo emerged and looked at art at the booth across the way, while his advisor stayed to negotiate. “We are good, we’re getting there!” she said when she emerged while Leo huddled with his posse.
