To celebrate what would have been Michael Jackson’s 60th year (his birthday would have been August 29th), National Portrait Gallery has a blockbuster summer exhibition called Michael Jackson On The Wall.
Curated by Director Dr Nicholas Cullinan, the exhibition is spread over 14 rooms, each named appropriately like:
- King of Pop (6)
- Off The Wall (11)
- Man in the Mirror (13)
Overall there are over 48 artists are featured including my favorites Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Grayson Perry. While I must admit I was never a huge fan on Michael Jackson (although did have tickets to the first night of what would have been his ‘last concert’), NPG has done a really good job in showing the many layers of Michael Jackson, from personal to professional.
