It will without a doubt go for an unprecedented amount of money. Interesting how the aesthetic value and the monetary value of a painting seem to be inversely proportional ... Look here |

From: gnu "In the same year, the 1963 painting Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I) - depicting an overturned car on fire - sold for $71.7m (£42.8m), a record for a Warhol piece." Can you say "money laundering"? I knew you could. |

From: greg stephens Banksy, the Bristol graffiti artist, has painted a terrific picture of Michael Jackson, though I think fans of MJ are unlikely to want to buy the original. It is in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery at the moment, though I don';t know if anyone has put it on Youtube or anything. |

He was an excellent draftsman but his work mostly consisted of reproductions of others' work or of "things that are art because I say they are art." His work is a tribute to the amplifying effect of publicity over originality. |
