Chistie's auction house in New York City sold a silk-screen print of Michael Jackson by Andy Warhol to an anonymous bidder for $812,500. The portrait, as seen here to the left is an example of Warhol's drawn on photo technique.  Jackson appears in the photo as he did in his uniformed 80's attire.

According to the AP, the auction house said, "The seller is an anonymous private collector based in New York who bought the image from the Andy Warhol Foundation in the 1990s. It did not say who bought the artwork."
