Collection of Michael Jackson on Auction

A few of the thousands of items belonging to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, went for auction at a department store in Beverly Hills.

In a four-day auction, 1,390 lots from Jackson’s Neverland ranch in California went for sale.

From Dailymail.co.uk:

Viewings of the items in the former Robinson-Mays department store were opened to the press yesterday giving an interesting insight to the eccentric world of Jackson.

The huge collection contains antique furniture, expensive artworks and a huge array of toys and games.

Amongst Jackson’s huge art collection, he appears to have a particular penchant for bronze figurines of children.

Amongst his sculpture collection there is a bronze ballerina lacing her shoe by Jim Davidson and an 11-year-old Ramon Parmenter sculpture of a girl with coloured patination.

Also on display are statues by notable sculptors Luca Madrassi, Jean Baptiste Carpeaux, Lorenzo Ghilgheri, R Aurili and Affortunato Gory and porcelain ornaments by Spanish firm Lladro.

A Versace vegetable dish, silver-plated asparagus servers, and a Royal Doulton dinner service were also up for sale.

Production of CD’s was taking over largely and markets were getting flooded with them. However, every person who owned this album during its initial release made sure they had it but it was mainly on vinyl.
