Meanwhile, the 39-year-old record producer's representative also released a statement which says, "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 writer whose story was published in the NY Times unfortunately based his reporting on hearsay, conjecture, uninvolved third parties and the lack of fact checking. Once again we are flattered by such interest, but 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," West's spokesperson added .
