A portrait of Michael Jackson by Andy Warhol will go on auction at Christie’s auction house in New York on November 10.

On Friday, Christie’s auction house said that the 30 by 26 inch portrait of Michael Jackson should go for an estimated $500,000 to $700,000. The Michael Jackson portrait is one of a small group of silk-screened images of Michael Jackson created in 1984 by Warhol.

The portrait of Michael Jackson shows him smilling in a jacket from his “Thriller” era, including red and yellow hints in his hair.

Deputy chairman Brett Gorvy told the Associated Press that the seller of the Michael Jackson portrait requested to remain anonymous, and is a private collector from New York who purchased the painting from the Andy Warhol Foundation in the 1990s.

The Michael Jackson portrait by Andy Warhol is one of 47 lots being auctioned, including two additional Warhol pieces.

In August, a similar portrait of Michael Jackson by Warhol was sold by a New York Art Gallery to an anonymous buyer. Although the gallery would not disclose the exact price, they did say that it was more than one million dollars.
