The glamorous actress's purchases included a white bust with a bleeding bullet hole in the forehead.

Banksy's US exhibition hit the headlines earlier this week when it emerged that a live elephant which had been spray-painted as part of the display was scrubbed down by officials after complaints from animal activists.

Banksy's elephant loses its paint job

Jolie, who attended the opening of the show with boyfriend Brad Pitt, spent £120,000 on a painting called Picnic, which depicts a white family of four lunching under an umbrella while 15 starving Africans look on, US magazine Star reported.

The bullet-ridden bust, which an onlooker said she 'went nuts for', cost £40,000 while the star was said to have spent the same amount on a portrait of a man hit in the head with a custard pie.

The Barely Legal exhibition by Bristolian Banksy focused on global poverty and injustice. The 38-year-old female elephant, named Tai, had been painted with non-toxic paint in the same red and gold pattern as the exhibit's walls, and was placed in a living room.

Cards handed out at the opening said: "There's an elephant in the room. There's a problem we never talk about" - and went on to explain that many people live below the poverty line.
