[sprint911]

Get ready Michael Jackson fans, never-before-seen photos of the King of Pop will soon be going up for auction!

Luckily, PerezHilton.com has the opportunity to show you a sneak peek at the collecition with the special photo above.

But on December 13th, Pierre Bergé & Associés will hold a worldwide, exclusive auction for the special collection of Jackson shots by photographer Arno Bani .

The photos were taken back in 1998 when Jackson was recording his Invincible album. He hired Bani to help conceptualize the visual identity of his latest record. The shoot took place over several days in Paris at a private warehouse.

According to reports, the results of the shoot were “so bold that the singer's record company discarded the whole project and buried the pictures.”

What do U think of the image above from the collection?

I rather remember the blue eye pic.....the golden one is...is....i don´t like it.

First time I've seen the gold pic, very striking but I can almost see why the record company dropped it (if they did) as it's so airbrushed and they'd be looking to avoid anything that would be classed as bizarre.  Also the media would no doubt jump on it and claim he looked like a woman or something.  I do think the hair quite suits him though, he looks gorgeous despite the airbrushing!

I mean no disrespect because I admire both artists...but the new pic looks like a blending of Michael and Prince (the singer).

Have a look at the dates...

PARIS (LALATE) – Photos that Michael Jackson had taken by Arno Bani at age 23 are now in a Paris auction with Pierre Berge Associes. The Michael Jackson Paris auction features 12 pictures, none of which have ever been seen. In fact, news of the auction today from Paris does not come with a preview of the images.

The pictures were taken in 1999 by Parisian photographer Arno Bani. Bani claims that in 1999 a 23-year old Jackson had seen Bani’s work in a French fashion magazine. Arnon claims Jackson called him and asked him to take his pictures. It remains unanswered for which purpose Jackson sought the pictures to be taken, how many were eventually snapped, and who retained the pictures after the photoshoot.


The auction has set bidding on each photo to start at roughly $1300.  The Paris auction has 12 total pictures from that shoot. The Jackson estate has yet to make a statement about the auction. One of the pictures is named “Michael Jackson’s Blue Eye.”
