Michael Jackson may be best known for his legendary singing career, but he was also a great artist… and his signed drawings are about to be available for purchase.
The singer’s rare collection — consisting of 78 sketch drawings of various images, including Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth IIPeter Pan, Andy Warholetc. — will be auctioned for Kings Beverly Hills Auctions partnered with Kings Auctions Las Vegas on August 3. The location has not yet been disclosed.
The auction will initially accept bids for the entire collection… however, a starting bid of $1 million is required, otherwise the auction will sell the pieces separately.
Kings Auction tells TMZ … that they came into possession of the artwork through recent legal proceedings. Prior to their acquisition, the art pieces were stored at a private art space in Santa Monica, California — where MJ would often visit to work while recovering from plastic surgery procedures.
We were told that Michael’s signature on the drawings was authenticated by Roger Epperson — who also confirmed that the sketches were not prints.
This isn’t the first time MJ’s personal belongings have been auctioned off. Remember, years after Michael’s death in 2009, his belongings from his last residence in Los Angeles — including furniture, paintings and antiques — were sold.
