Like when anything happens with any celebrity, there’s a quick clamoring of the masses to see what they can get out of it. The death of Michael Jackson is no exception and if anything, it’s way worse. We’ve seen Cheetos shaped like the moonwalker being sold on eBay, tacky memorial t-shirts, boxed sets, and now, the one and only painting that Jackson ever posed for is going back on the market for the first time since 1990 because of “renewed interest” in the King of Pop.
The painting went for a whopping 2.1 million when it was auctioned off to a tri-state area couple almost twenty years ago, and now it’s being shipped from a Jersey warehouse to a Harlem car showroom (???) to be seen and possibly bought again.
I can imagine that the painting’s value could have either doubled or been knocked in half after all these years. Yes, it is supposedly the only painting that Jackson ever posed for, which I suppose does add some value, but with the crashing economy, art sales have been at an all time low. And you know, pardon me because I wasn’t an art history major and I’m not really sure, but isn’t that painting like, really friggin’ tacky? I mean, maybe if some foreign royalty in a velvet lined palace can find a place for it between his gold plated zebras the painting will find a new home, but it seems likely to me that they’ll have a hard time finding a bidder.
Haha yeah, I have to agree this painting is pretty tacky looking.
The tragic liz taylor romeo and juilet 19th century years where he’s both Romeo.. romanced by himself as a comely bard and Juliet is a bronze hood ornament in the far distance from any balcony.
Is it me or is this painting very Labyrinth-esque.
The artist of this painting was very flattering to Michael Jackson. He looks better here then in many of the photos that have been taken of him.
I’ve tossed rings at coke bottle necks at carnivals trying to win better looking stuff than that piece of shit. Who the fuck is the artist (I use the term lightly)? I’ll bet the piece of crap isn’t even signed. It is probably the work of some autistic tard. They could have at least made it interesting. Maybe if his pants were around his ankles as he’s looking out his apartment window from sex offender housing down upon an elementary school playground. Whada yu think?
Well ‘jerzy’ I think your a sadistic moron, ok YES the painting is quite terrible, but why are you putting anything against MJ up. Leave your parents basement and get into the real world you punk-ass bitch!
Sob..Sob..Sob…
Mommy Jayden doesn’t like me…..sob..sob..sob…..I think I’ll go over to Mr. Jacksons and ask him for some of his anti-depressants. Maybe he will give me some vodka…er I mean CocaCola.
