Michael Jackson, 1984. Acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas. Stamped twice with estate and foundation seals en verso. Wednesday, February 2, 1977. “Dropped Catherine off (cab $3). Went home and did some work, then at 11:00 Catherine and I went over to Regine’s to interview Michael Jackson of the Jackson 5. He’s very tall now, but he has a really high voice. He had a big guy with him, maybe a bodyguard, and the girl from The Wiz. The whole situation was funny because Catherine and I didn’t know anything about Michael Jackson, really, and he didn’t know anything about me - he thought I was a poet or something like that. So he was asking questions that nobody who knew me would ask - like if I was married, if I had any kids, if my mother was alive….” Excerpt from The Andy Warhol Diaries, page 20.
