As London's National Portrait Gallery opens its Michael Jackson show, we look at Andy’s 80s TIME cover
Andy Warhol painted different people for different reasons. As our book Andy Warhol Portraits makes clear, his early 1960s pictures of celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando, Elvis Presley and Natalie Wood - made when Warhol was still finding his own fame - “transcend earlier conventions of portraiture and feel closer to the presentation of Christian Icons, Olympian Gods and classical history that were the stuff of Old Master art.”
However, by the 1970s, Warhol’s portraits focussed less on earlier, unattainable Hollywood stars, and instead portrayed the socialites, industrial scions and pop stars well within the artist's social circle.
Many of these later portraits were commissioned by their subjects, or by entrepreneurial patrons, such as the American investment banker Richard Weisman, who paid for a series of sports portraits from Andy in 1977, including his now well-known picture of Muhammad Ali.

LAWSUIT AGAINST MICHAEL JACKSON DISMISSED
Thanks to David and Suzy we have lots of information on Michael Jackson’ s phantom or non-existent victims. Two such ‘victims’ were already mentioned in the Skepticism post but Michael’s detractors want all of them neatly grouped together, so let us do it – but first let’s see what events preceded the appearance of those so-called victims.
NOVEMBER 19, 2003. The PRESS CONFERENCE of County District Sheriff Tom Sneddon and County Sheriff Jim Anderson
The press-conference was held the next day after the surprise raid of Neverland of which Michael Jackson knew nothing as he was in Las Vegas at the time, recording “One more chance” and getting ready for the release of his new album.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Anderson opened the press-conference and said an arrest warrant for Mr. Jackson had been issued. The previous day approximately 70 policemen raided Neverland ranch from 8:30 in the morning to 11:00 p.m. Two more search warrants had been served.
The basis for this investigation regarding Mr. Jackson involved allegations of child molestation, 288(a) of the California penal code.
