Michael Jackson's influence goes far beyond music. A true icon of his generation with a fascinating personality, the King of Pop has inspired many artists, whether they are draftsmen, painters, sculptors or even plastic artists. The exhibition, and the accompanying catalogue, decipher the star's impact on contemporary art, but also highlight how Michael Jackson's eclectic artistic tastes were, in the image of his philosophy, totally open, non-ideological and non-discriminatory. In this regard, the challenges of its transversal culture within the African-American community will be highlighted.
