Here we show you not Michael Jackson the artist but Michael Jackson as art. The self-proclaimed King of Pop served as an inspiration for plastic figurines, decorative car hoods and this sculpture titled "Michael Jackson and Bubbles," by Jeff Koons. It sits in the Broad Contemporary Art Museum at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
