In 1984 Michael Jackson, one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever known, was in his prime and the “Thriller” album was a phenomenal success. That same year famous American artist Andy Warhol, who was also in the prime of his career, painted a portrait of the legendary Michael Jackson. In 1987 Andy Warhol passed away due to post surgery complications and Michael Jackson recently passed from yet to be determined causes. Now this very iconic portrait is scheduled to be sold at an auction in New York starting at an estimated price of $840,000. However because both the artist and the model are no longer living this 30 x 26 in portrait is estimated to sell for millions more. So if you have the funds and you’d like to take a look at the work before the New York auction, the portrait is currently on display at the British Music Experience in London, the same location he was scheduled to kick start his comeback tour.
