KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — Statues belonging to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson displayed at Neverland Ranch are being resold, but this time instead of as a package deal, the art is being sold individually.
Dozens of Jackson's statues previously showcased at his Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County, California, have been put up for sale after a previous attempt to sell the lot as one unit fell through.
The private collector who owns 28 pieces from the singer’s infamous California estate is still trying to sell the art and has dropped his asking price of US$2.5 million (RM11.5m) for the entire collection, reported TMZ.
Instead, they are now being sold separately, with most of the statues priced in the five-figure range.
Among the bronze statues, several depicting children, including one particular artwork entitled Kids and Tree Swing is priced at US$150,000.
Sharing the same price tag is another piece called Follow the Leader.
The works of art were originally put up for sale in April 2021 by Dubai firm Noble Art Lovers.
Although some affluent potential buyers expressed interest, no transactions were finalised.
The statues hit the market after Jackson died in 2009.
The company hopes that with the items now for sale on an individual basis, more might be interested in owning a piece of the infamous Neverland Ranch.
