You guys remember when billionaire Harry Macklowe wound up giving reporters a standup comedy set after he gave $2 billion to his soon-to-be-ex-wife Linda Macklowe in a divorce settlement? Watch it HERE.

Turns out, not only is he funny, he’s also a hell of an art collector.

According to Page Six, he’s been secretly selling art worth millions to keep the money out of Linda’s hands. LOL!

He’s apparently the top secret seller of a Roy Lichtenstein painting that will be auctioned next week, assuming to bring in nearly $35 million at Christie’s.

The two are getting divorced after nearly 60 years, and part of the assets at stake are the art collection. “Although Linda’s long been known as the art collector in the family — and the one with the talented eye — it turns out Harry has been quietly collecting on his own,” a source said. “While the name of the seller is being carefully concealed, art-world insiders are buzzing it belongs to Harry.”

In reference to the Lichtenstein piece, Christie’s says it “belongs to one of the most significant series from Lichtenstein’s long and prolific career, and is one of only a handful of the 14 works from this pivotal series to remain in private hands. Many of this group are now housed in major international museum collections.”
