A "Michael Jackson" painting created by King of Pop Art Andy Warhol in 1984 has been under the hammer at the Vered Gallery of East Hampton.

The portrait depicts a smiling King of Pop in his red military uniform from his hit album "Thriller".

Ruth Vered, who owns the gallery, said that the 30-by-26-inch, synthetic polymer painting on canvas could be estimated to fetch millions of dollars at the auction, which ends on July 12.

"We estimate this painting, created in 1984, will sell for 1 million to 10 million dollars," the New York Daily News quoted Vered as saying.

Gallery co-owner Janet Lehr added: "This auction is an unparalleled moment. Warhol in the Hamptons is so important because he's a monumental figure who had a spectacular oceanfront estate in Montauk. So we have the meetings of the world's greatest artists in the fields of art and music." (ANI)
