A portrait of 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson by legendary artist Andy Warhol has sold for USD 812,000 at an auction in Los Angeles.
The pop icon's picture was bought by an anonymous bidder at Christie's auction house on Tuesday for more than the expected price of USD 700,000, Contactmusic reported.
The artwork, which was completed in 1984, was sold by a New York-based collector, who bought it from the Andy Warhol Foundation in the 1990s.
It depicts a smiling Jackson in a jacket with squiggles of red and yellow in his hair.
