Spotted at Art Basel Miami: Michael Jackson on Horseback

The King of Pop’s presence can be felt at Art Basel Miami Beach, the mega art fair that began yesterday with a series of private openings. Among the artworks featured prominently at the booth of New York gallery Deitch Projects is Kehinde Wiley‘s “Equestrian Portrait of King Philip II” (at right) a Rubens riff that replaces the roundfaced Spanish monarch with Michael Jackson. The massive oil painting is approximately 20 feet long and 23 feet high.
