A California art dealer recently announced he is considering putting a couple of murals previously owned by Jackson on eBay in an attempt to recoup thousands of dollars owed to him by the disgraced former-pop-star. Jackson left the artwork at the gallery to be framed, and never returned to pay for the work.
Jackson asked the gallery owner to frame two enormous mural portraits of himself: one frolicking with Peter Pan and another of him dancing in a rainbow of colors, according to the August/September issue of Santa Barbara magazine. In addition, Jackson purchased dozens of Norman Rockwell prints all of children at play and wanted them all framed.
The gallery owner, not content owning a piece of art work portraying Jackson playing grab-ass with Peter Pan, decided to sell the murals in hopes of minimizing his losses.
Jacksons fiscal irresponsibility also forced the sale of his collection of exotic animals piece-by-piece.
Jacksons elephant sold to a big wheel [circus] near Los Angeles, a source told the mag. Its also true that Jackson has four giraffes up for sale. His asking price: $35,000 a pair.
