Michael Jackson's artwork to go on auction
A collection of 76 images believed to belong to the late Michael Jackson will reportedly go on auction.
Drawings said to belong to Michael Jackson will reportedly go on sale.
According to a media report by Daily Mail, a collection of 76 images reportedly drawn by Jackson is up for sale through Kings Auctions.
Rolling Stone reports that 'the collection includes 76 pieces drawn by Jackson's own hand, including images of Andy Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, Walt Disney, Peter Pan, and Ronald Reagan'.
However, Jackson's estate is reportedly questioning if the artwork actually belonged to the late pop star.
Another report by TMZ states that 'the late Thriller singer's estate does not accept these sketches as authentic after reviewing the items'. However, according to the same publication, Michael's signature on the drawings has been authenticated by Roger Epperson.
The auction will take place on August 3 at an undisclosed location.
