What I would have bought

I was fascinated by some of the artwork that was going to be in the Michael Jackson auction in February 2009. If I had to pick one thing, it would have been this painting, the Portrait of Michael Jackson dressed as a King, oil on canvas, signed and dated 1995. Housed in an elaborate gold frame. Norman Oak (American, B. 20th Century) Guide price: $4,000–$6,000.

Now maybe I'll have to paint my own. Of me!
