No bidders for MJ's portrait

London, May 7 (ANI): Auction of Michael Jackson's portrait on eBay fell flat when the owner did not receive any bids for it.

The portrait is a 50in by 40 in painting by Australian artist Brett-Livingstone Strong of Jackson wearing a red velvet jacket and clutching a journal.

Originally bought by businessman Hiromichi Saeki for 1.4 million pounds in 1990, it was acquired by a toy inventor, Marty Abrams in 1992 as payment on a debt, reports The Scotsman.

Abrams had anticipated it fetching more than 3 million dollars in the auction, which had a minimum starting bid of 2.75 million dollars. (ANI)
