78 Sketches Purportedly by Michael Jackson Going Up for Auction, Estate Skeptical of Authenticity

A rare collection of Michael Jackson‘s drawings is expected to be auctioned off on Aug. 3. However, TMZ reports the King of Pop’s estate isn’t sure the sketches are real.

According to reports by the Hollywood Reporter and Billboard, 78 sketches will go up for auction at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles next month. The artwork includes drawings of Martin Luther King Jr., Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth II, Andy Warhol, Michelangelo’s David, Peter Pan, and other various Disney characters.

“Get ready to own some of the most coveted pieces of art by one of the biggest music icons in the world,” a description from Kings Auctions stated. “These one of a kind pieces of art aren’t just an investment, they are your chance to own a piece of music history.”

The auction requires an opening bid of $1 million, which will be for the entire collection of 78 pieces.
