Christie’s auction house will offer up a portrait of Michael Jackson by Andy Warhol in New York on Nov. 10.
The 30-by-26-inch portrait should fetch an estimated $500,000 to $700,000. It’s one of a small group of Warhol silk-screened images of Jackson created in 1984.
A New York art gallery sold a similar Warhol portrait of Jackson in August to an anonymous buyer. The gallery would not disclose the price, but said it was more than a million dollars.

Don’t like the portrait itself, but no doubts that it will sell at record-level prices.
