RIHANNA has added to her art collection by snapping up
a $160,000USD MARILYN MONROE portrait - made of 65,000 crystals.
The Umbrella
hitmaker commissioned British artist Claire Milner to create the giant piece,
which took four months to complete and weighs 182 pounds (83 kilograms).
Milner tells Britain's
The Sun, "I tried to show the glitter of the public life and then the
sadness in Marilyn's eyes. Because of who Rihanna is, everything had to be done
through her interior decorators. But they told me afterwards that she loved it.
"A 100
per cent Swarovski crystal portrait is very luxurious - people stand and stare
because it constantly changes colour, sending rainbows round the room."
Rihanna has
spent a fortune decorating her Los Angeles home, which features a gun-shaped
chandelier and a Bob Marley tribute painting in her red, yellow and green
'reggae room'.
