Bush, Donald Trump, Amber Rose, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Bill Cosby, Anna Wintour and Ray J, all in bed covered by a sheet was displayed privately at a gallery Blum & Poe here last weekend.

The gallery has estimated that the full piece can be sold for up to $4 million, reports rollingstone.com.

A representative for West however has denied that any such sale will take place.

"We are incredibly flattered that a number is being reported but at no point have we ever disclosed a sale price for the piece," the representative said in a statement.

"As far as Mr. West is concerned - it's all about the art. We are looking forward to announcing when 'Famous' will be available again for viewing," the representative added.
