Warhol's Jackson Portrait To Be Auctioned Off!
Filed under: Michael Jackson
Andy Warhol's 1984 portrait of Michael Jackson is about to hit the auction block!
Ca$hing in!
"This Andy Warhol portrait brings together the uncontested King of Pop Art with the uncontested King of Pop," says Janet Lehr, the rep for the seller of the artwork.
She continues: "The portrait was painted at the height of their careers and is a celebration of two of the great talents in global cultural history."
If you want to catch a glimpse at the portrait before it's auctioned off in New York, the Warhol will be on display at London's British Music Experience inside the O2 Arena, the venue which was to be used for Jackson's This Is It residency.
After that, it's for the highe$t bidder's eyes only!
Ouch!

Re: UrbestNightmare – That's reality.
Damn wish I had the deniro for that.

This is the one TIME magazine used as its cover back in the 80's too. I love it.
It's gorgeous! Are they donating the proceeds from the auction to charity? That would be nice, and probably what MJ would have wanted.
I so jealous.

Re: blubabiecutie –
I agree with you girl - u r so right
Re: BOOMBOOMPOWrez –
OMG - i am happy that what u just right doesn't concern me
'cuz it's sooo hard, can make someone cry like a baby–
i love MJ - those who don't like him please just don't read the mail it's that simple but i guess no want even haters can't get over MJ…
Re: Dinagirl – God bless you sweetie. It's completely ridiculous how those people have no lives. Their livelihood is to bash a dead icon to make other's upset. Pathetic.
Warhol was the most overrated artist in American art history. I'm pretty sure with a MJ poster this can be recreated by a highschool art student.
Re: BOOMBOOMPOWrez – You really need to get back on the meds…your momma would appreciate you moving out of the basement.
This is back when he was hot. I love his smile.
I can't even imagine how many millions of $$$ that piece of art will go for.
That is really cool. Can't even imagine how much that thing cost.
Re: Sistah Mary – Can it bitch. You don't even know me. Evidently you're the nobody sweetie. You have nothing better to do but, bash a dead star. Go get some di*c*k or puss bitch, do ya ALOT of good.
