Michael Jackson will be eulogized for his contribution to music and dance, but here we celebrate the visual art he inspired. It’s a wide range: As Culture Monster notes, Jeff Koons sculpted the singer and his chimp in porcelain, and Warhol gave him the silkscreen treatment. And David Nordhal has an entire body of work that glorifies the singer, including the triptych of the King of Pop as a knight (pictured). Click here for a photo gallery of Michael Jackson art.
