BIG MONEY PAID FOR MICHAEL JACKSON IMAGE

Michael JacksonAn Andy Warhol silk-screened image of Michael Jackson sold for $287,500 at Sotheby's on May 13 this year. The pop star died on June 25. Then on August 18, Vered Gallery in East Hampton, N.Y., sold the very same Warhol image for over $1 million, according to Forbes magazine. An expert on Warhol's work says the high price was due to Jackson's death, not to a spike in interest in works by Warhol. Of course.
