Art gallery sells Warhol's Jackson portrait for 'over $1m'
Wednesday, 19 August 2009
A New York art gallery has sold an Andy Warhol portrait of Michael Jackson, but will not reveal the purchase price or the buyer.
The Vered Gallery in East Hampton sold the 30x26in painting showing a smiling Jackson in a red jacket from his 1980s Thriller days to a buyer who requested anonymity.
The auction, which closed at 8pm yesterday local time, was conducted online, by phone and at the gallery. The seller is a private collector.
Gallery co-owner Janet Lehr would not disclose the final bid price, said it was more than a million dollars (£610,000).
