This glove was commissioned for the Jackson’s 1984 Victory tour where Michael performed in fifty-five concerts with his brothers.

Anything related to Michael Jackson is extraordinary, and to have something so incredibly historical as his clothes, gloves or fedoras are beyond special. Michael Jackson is one of the most important figures in the history of pop-music. His legacy, his extravagant garments are must-see pieces in every leading art and design museum and today more and more hotels and restaurants have been decorated by pop-culture memorabilia. We think this auction could be a great tribute to the King of Pop.
