Michael Jackson Warhol Portrait London

Fans of the self styled King of Pop have the rare chance to see a famous picture of their idol at the Michael Jackson Warhol portrait London exhibition, which will take place at the British Music Experience over just three days.

Michael Jackson Warhol portrait London
Taking place ahead of the portrait's return to New York where it will go under the hammer in a widely publicised auction, the Michael Jackson Warhol portrait London exhibition is the only chance European fans have to see the work of art up close and personal. The portrait was created by Andy Warhol in 1984 to celebrate the world record breaking sales of the Thriller album, and depicts Michael Jackson in quintessential Warhol style with bold and eyecatching colours.

Auction in New York
With the continuing popularity of Andy Warhol's art and the increased public interest in Michael Jackson following his sudden and untimely death, the Michael Jackson Warhol portrait London showing and the following auction in New York is bound to draw a lot of attention. The starting bid in the auction is $800,000, and as Warhol portraits have reached around $17 million in recent years, you'll have to have deep pockets if you want to take part in the bidding.

British Music Experience
The paint and silkscreen inks on canvas piece by Andy Warhol will join the collection of music memorabilia at the British Music Experience at the O2 for three days only in August 2009. For more information on what else to expect at the interactive visitor attraction, click on the links below.
