A multicoloured portrait of the late Michael Jackson by Andy Warhol is to be auctioned off with a starting price of $800,000 US.
"This Andy Warhol portrait brings together the uncontested King of Pop Art with the uncontested King of Pop. The portrait was painted at the height of their careers and is a celebration of two of the great talents in global cultural history," said Janet Lehr of the Vered Gallery, agents for the seller, in a statement released on Friday.
The iconic portrait, created in 1984 to celebrate the massive popularity of Jackson's Thriller album, will be on show at London's British Music Experience from Aug. 6 to 8th.
