After an “overwhelming response” temporarily closed the first auction, an Andy Warhol portrait of Michael Jackson is back up for bid. Vered Gallery says bidding is up to $800k, triple the price in May, but that’s actually just the minimum bid set the first time the East Hampton gallery tried to hawk it. |AFP|

A Hamptons art gallery has taken a Michael Jackson portrait off the auction block in hopes that relisting the piece will score a bigger sale following the pop star’s death. Vered Gallery wants to reach “the greatest number of prospective purchasers” for the 1984 painting by Andy Warhol, estimated to sell for somewhere between $1 million and $10 million. |NYP|
