A 25-year-old portrait of Michael Jackson created by pop art pioneer Andy Warhol is set to be auctioned in New York this month.

The 1984 painting — commissioned by TIME Magazine to celebrate the record sales of Jackson’s album Thriller — will go up for sale at the Vered Art Gallery in East Hampton on August 18.

“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,” Janet Lehr, a partner at the Vered Gallery.

The artwork will be displayed at London’s British Music Experience, inside the O2 Arena, for three days beginning August 6.

Paul Lilley, British Music Experience Curator, said: “Michael Jackson’s influence on the world of pop is unparalleled. This is a perfect chance for us to give our visitors a once in a life time opportunity before the portrait disappears from the public eye into a private collection.”
