Almost a decade after his death, Jackson's impact shows no signs of diminishing: his record sales, now well into the hundreds of millions, continue to grow, his videos are still watched and his enormous fan base remains loyal to his memory. Alongside his lingering influence as a recording artist, the questions that surrounded his fame, success, race and gender during his lifetime remain an indelible aspect of his legacy. Michael Jackson has the distinction of being the most depicted cultural figure; an inspiration for an extraordinary array of leading artists—from Andy Warhol and Isa Genzken to David Hammons and Glenn Ligon—working in a variety of styles and media. This book, which accompanies a major exhibition, examines their artistic responses to an enduring international icon.
