Actor Sylvester Stallone painting sells for $410K at AIDS research gala

Sylvester Stallone showcased his artistic skills and charitable spirit at the amfAR gala in Las Vegas, where his painting sold for an impressive $410,000 to benefit AIDS research. The event, held at The Wynn Hotel, saw Stallone and his family in attendance. He contributed an original multicolored artwork titled Knocking Heads, featuring vibrant hues of green, yellow, and red, along with thoughtful faces and a nod to his iconic character, Rocky Balboa.

During the lively auction, the painting’s price soared to $410,000, drawing applause from the audience. Stallone, visibly delighted, was thrilled that his artwork could support such a meaningful cause. Stallone, an accomplished painter for years, was also honored at the gala, receiving an award from Tommy Hilfiger and his wife, Dee. His generosity extended further, as he auctioned off a role in the upcoming season of his show Tulsa King, raising an additional $300,000.

The evening was a tremendous success for amfAR, blending art, entertainment, and philanthropy. While Stallone is renowned for his action-packed film roles, his artistic and charitable efforts continue to make a lasting impact.
