Who run the auction world?

Blue Ivy Carter, the six-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and JAY-Z, proved herself a determined bidder who is following in her parents’ art collecting footsteps at the Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles last weekend. The event, which supports the arts non-profit Where Art Can Occur (WACO) Theater Center, co-founded by Blue’s grandmother Tina Knowles Lawson, included a live auction hosted by the View talk show co-host Star Jones. Blue got into a bidding war with the actor-filmmaker-comedian Tyler Perry over a portrait of Sidney Poitier, but JAY-Z playfully took control of the paddle after Blue’s $19,000 bid, and Perry bought the work for $20,000. “For me I’m thinking it’s charity, it’s a good cause, and I’m not letting this kid take this painting from me!” Perry said on Monday on the late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live. But Blue did snap up the following lot, a work by Samuel Levi Jones made of deconstructed law and medical books, for $10,000. And, proving herself not only a collector but a philanthropist, the six-year-old matched the $120,000 donation Perry pledged to Waco. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jones responded: “Big baller shot caller comes in small packages.”
