The portrait features Jackson in a red jacket holding his journal at Neverland Ranch, with Tinkerbell in the background. Abrams kept the painting either in his home in New York or in storage with the exception of one display at the Dancy-Power Automotive showroom in Harlem after Jackson’s death. Japanese businessman Hiromichi Saeki originally bought the painting for $2.1 million in 1990. Belgo Fine Art Appraisal and Restoration appraised the painting at $5.3 million in 2000.
Abrams hopes the portrait will get to over $3 million on eBay. The minimum starting bid was posted at $2.75 million and has not changed as of right now (Thursday afternoon).
