 Michael Jackson: Portrait up for auction
A portrait of Michael Jackson painted by US artist Andy Warhol is set to be auctioned in New York.
The multi-coloured 1984 painting will be on display at London's British Music Experience at the 02, where Jackson had been due to perform.
The starting price for the portrait is £500,000. Andy Warhol's paintings have previously sold for millions.
A portrait of Elizabeth Taylor by the late artist, who died in 1987, fetched $23.7m (£14m) in 2007.
Janet Lehr, agents for the seller, "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".
The auction will be held at the Vered Art Gallery in East Hampton, New York on August 18.
