Kim Kardashian Buys Monet Inspired by 'Clueless' Movie
23 Oct
Summary
- Kim Kardashian's favorite movie is 'Clueless,' released in 1995.
- She bought a Monet painting because of a 'Clueless' movie reference.
- The Monet painting was unexpectedly small, like a postcard.
An excerpt from Jonathan Van Meter's book 'Citizen Kim' details Kim Kardashian's connection to the 1995 film 'Clueless.' Kardashian revealed that the movie, which came out as she entered high school, is her all-time favorite. She related to the characters' fashion and the film's portrayal of Beverly Hills youth culture.
Kardashian explained that her affinity for 'Clueless' directly led to her purchasing a Monet painting. The movie's reference to a 'Monet' as someone who looks good from afar but is a mess up close inspired her art acquisition. She bought the painting during a Fendi/Skims fitting in Rome.
This particular Monet, described as a gray landscape, was Kim Kardashian's first self-purchased piece of art. The auction experience led her to bid impulsively, exceeding her budget. A humorous detail emerged when the painting arrived: its dimensions were unexpectedly small, akin to a postcard, despite her expectation of a larger piece for her Palm Springs home.
