Tacky Michael Jackson Painting Valued at $2.1 Million

Like when anything happens with any celebrity, there’s a quick clamoring of the masses to see what they can get out of it. The death of Michael Jackson is no exception and if anything, it’s way worse. We’ve seen Cheetos shaped like the moonwalker being sold on eBay, tacky memorial t-shirts, boxed sets, and now, the one and only painting that Jackson ever posed for is going back on the market for the first time since 1990 because of “renewed interest” in the King of Pop.

The painting went for a whopping 2.1 million when it was auctioned off to a tri-state area couple almost twenty years ago, and now it’s being shipped from a Jersey warehouse to a Harlem car showroom (???) to be seen and possibly bought again.

I can imagine that the painting’s value could have either doubled or been knocked in half after all these years. Yes, it is supposedly the only painting that Jackson ever posed for, which I suppose does add some value, but with the crashing economy, art sales have been at an all time low. And you know, pardon me because I wasn’t an art history major and I’m not really sure, but isn’t that painting like, really friggin’ tacky? I mean, maybe if some foreign royalty in a velvet lined palace can find a place for it between his gold plated zebras the painting will find a new home, but it seems likely to me that they’ll have a hard time finding a bidder.
