A rarely seen portrait of Michael Jackson sits on display as custodian Donald Hedges sweeps the floor of an office at the Dancy-Power Automotive Group, a showroom that sells luxury cars to celebrities, in the Harlem neighborhood of New YorkThursday July 2, 2009. Owner Marty Abrams says the oil painting titled "The Book" is the only portrait Jackson sat for because he was friends with Australian painter Brett-Livingstone Strong. The 40-inch-by-50-inch portrait was sold for $2.1 million in 1990. Abrams chose the showroom because it is near the Apollo Theater, where the Jackson 5 won Amateur Night in 1967.
