Justin Timberlake's mugshot after DWI arrest now a 'limited-edition art piece' in New York gallery
Justin Timberlake’s mugshot for his driving while intoxicated charge has been turned into a “limited-edition” artwork in a gallery in Sag Harbor, New York.
As per a Page Six report, artist Godfrey Lohman made the artwork and brought it to the Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor, which generated “nonstop lines,” where museumgoers were “eager” to snap photos of it.
Gallery employee Leslie Raff told the outlet, “[Timberlake’s mugshot] is our most contemporary piece! It’s au courant.”
The artwork, which is available in different colors, is priced at $520 (P30,000) each and has sold “two or three” versions of it, according to the owner of the gallery.
“A lot of people are coming back,” Kramoris said. The report added that the gallery is planning to carry the pieces through the rest of the summer.
Timberlake was arrested in the same town on June 18 on charges of driving while intoxicated and two citations — one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in lane. Sag Harbor police said that a police officer saw the Mirrors singer drive his 2025 BMW through a stop sign shortly after midnight morning and failed to stay on the right side of the road.
“Upon investigation, it was determined that Mr Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition," as per Agence France Presse (AFP) report.
The court documents also stated that the singer’s eyes were "bloodshot and glassy," and he "performed poorly on all standard field sobriety tests," CBS reported. He was later arraigned and released later in the morning.
Timberlake resumed his “Forget Tomorrow” world tour on June 21.
