In the heat of August, at a secretive yet exquisite location in Los Angeles, enthusiasts and art collectors alike will embark on a thrilling journey to own a piece of Michael Jackson's artistic legacy. King's Auctions, the global auction powerhouse, has announced the auction of a rare collection of the late King of Pop's signed drawings.
On the auspicious date of August 3, in a luxurious Beverly Hills venue yet to be revealed, 78 exquisite drawings by the legendary artist will be up for grabs. Each of these masterpieces, personally signed by the music icon, offers a unique glimpse into the world of both the artist and the history of pop music.
Jackson, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 50, was a lifelong aficionado of fine art. From his young age, he found solace in drawing, a hobby that he indulged in even during his hectic touring schedule. His works were inspired by a diverse range of art genres, from classical and architectural styles to pop art and formal portraiture. Moreover, his love for London and British customs was evident in his artistic expressions.
This auction holds a unique twist. Lot #1, with an opening bid of $1 million, offers the entire collection of 78 pieces in a single lot. If the reserve price is met, the entire auction will come to a swift conclusion, with the complete collection finding its new home with the winning bidder. However, if the reserve price is not reached, the auction will proceed with each artwork being offered individually.
This momentous event is being organized by King's Auctions' Los Angeles branch, with absentee and online live bidding options available via LiveAuctioneers. To whet the appetites of art enthusiasts, preview exhibitions will be held in Beverly Hills and Las Vegas, offering a sneak peek into this exceptional collection.
