The Associated Press
This one isn’t like his other glittery gloves which were made for the right hand and adorned with hand-sewn crystals. This left-handed glove which accompanied Jackson’s fedora and dance moves on Motown’s 25th-anniversary TV special is a modified store-bought glove covered with a mesh of rhinestones. The glove which Darren Julien of Julien’s Auctions called “the Holy Grail of Michael Jackson memorabilia” will be featured alongside other one-of-a-kind items — such as an early Madonna demo tape and unreleased Jimi Hendrix lyrics — at the Nov. 21 “Music Icons” auction at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City’s Times Square.

The painting will be on display at the Vered Gallery until the auction ends Tuesday Aug. 18 and the painting — expected to fetch $10 million or more — is sold.
