Judging from the impressive layout of their Beverly Hills estate in the November 2011 issue of Architectural Digest, Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres don’t joke around when it comes to home décor or their art collection. The design-savvy couple cheerfully pose (above) in a sitting room off the kitchen where a large collaborative painting by Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat hangs. To the left of the painting is a drawing by Bill Traylor. The magazine reports: “They both admire the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose raw Neo-Expressionist  painting Untitled (Aopkhes) enlivens a corner of the living room.”
