Must Be Nice: Jay-Z Pays Out Generous Dough To New Artist During Art Basel In Miami [Photos] Dec 13th 2012, 02:50 Jay-Z made this man’s day… Artist Hebru Brantley was just doin’ his thing this past Sunday when he got the sale that will probably change his career forever: According to sources, For many artists, Art Basel Miami is an incomparable opportunity to have their work seen by the eyes of wealthy collectors, top gallery owners, curators from around the world…and Jay-Z. For 31-year old Chicago artist Hebru Brantley, brought to Basel as a finalist in the BOMBAY SAPPHIRE Artisan Series, it wasn't until the last day of the preeminent art fair that his work was discovered by the most distinguished of this pool of viewers, Mr. Shawn Carter himself. Brantley's piece "Everyone's Scared," which earned him a final spot in the annual Art Basel exhibit presented by Bombay Sapphire and Russell Simmons' Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, sold to Jay for $20K on Sunday night. When LeBron James' manager Maverick Carter caught sight of the piece on Sunday, December 9th, he immediately knew it was the newest addition to the Shawn Carter Collection that the hip hop king had hoped to find in Miami this year. After being sent a digital image of the artwork, Jay-Z named his price and requested that Brantley deliver "Everyone's Scared" directly to his hotel room later that evening. Good work man.
