Pop legend Michael Jackson’s “huge impact” on contemporary art will be explored in a new exhibition in Paris and London next year. Jackson is credited with helping turn the music video into an art form, and of popularising the robot and moonwalk dance moves. By then he had sold more than 184 million records and CDs, with his 1982 album “Thriller” still the biggest seller of all time. Cullinan said the exhibition “breaks new ground in its subject matter” and in the range and origin of the artists involved, all fascinated by “what Jackson represented and what he invented”. “It is rare that there is something new to say about someone so famous, but here that is the case,” Cullinan added.
