A London music studio has re-created the heart-stopping moment Michael Jackson dangled his nine-month-old son from a fifth-floor Berlin hotel balcony.
Madonna and Child, a life-sized sculpture of the late king of pop with baby Prince Michael II, has been installed at Premises in Hackney, causing passers-by to do a double-take.
Los Angeles-based artist Maria von Köhler, a former Royal Academy of Arts student, was commissioned to create the piece, made of polyester resin, finished in acrylic and wax. It is on display until May 1 then moves to LA.

Michael Jackson arrives at The Premises



As regular visitors here may have already noticed, there is a new sculpture suspended twenty feet up on the side of our building. It’s a life-sized depiction of the moment in Berlin in 2002, when Michael Jackson dangled his baby out of the window. Strange as it may seem, it’s called Madonna and Child and it’s been installed in our office window. Swedish-born sculptor Maria von Köhler spent six months, first modelling it in clay then, from a plaster mould, it was cast in polyester resin and finished in acrylic and wax.
Maria von Köhler has exhibited widely since she graduated with an MA from the Royal Academy Schools, Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2003. Her work is housed in collections worldwide, including The Zabludowicz Collection and The David Roberts Art Foundation, London. Von Köhler has held solo exhibitions at Seventeen, IMT and The Kiosk Project, London, as well as Seeline Gallery, Los Angeles and Galerie Lieser, Berlin. Other exhibition highlights include: When We Build Let Us Think We Build Forever, BALTIC, Gateshead; Larry’s Cocktails, Gagosian Gallery, London; National Geographic, Faggionato Fine Art, London; RightOn/Write Off, Chapman Fine Arts, London; Fresh, MOCA, Los Angeles; Selected Sculpture, Max Wigram Gallery, London.


Madonna and Child is on display at 209 Hackney Rd until May 1st 2011.

Michael Jackson sculpture at Premises Studios sparks ‘hate campaign’ REFUSES TO TAKE ARTWORK DOWN

<small>Posted in 2011 Archive on April 4, 2011 by Webbie

</small> Hackney music studio The Premises has been on the receiving end of &#8216;hate mail&#8217; after they installed a Michael Jackson sculpture.
The controversial artwork &#8211; called Madonna and Child &#8211; depicts the moment in Berlin in 2002 when the King of Pop held his baby out of a window. True to the original incident, the life-size statue leans out of the building.
Now the Premises Studios has become the target of abusive emails from Jackson fans, who say the sculpture is an insult to their hero.
One described it as: &#8220;The most outrageous sick thing that could have ever gone on in the city of London.&#8221;
Viv Broughton, Chief Executive of the Premises Studios, insisted that the artwork would not be taken down: &#8220;The sculpture recreates a moment of high drama in music history. The fans turned him into a deity and he in turn offered them his son. Lots of people have come here to view it. Most people think it&#8217;s brilliant.&#8221;
Madonna and Child by Swedish artist Maria von Köhler is now showing, twenty feet up on the side of the Premises Studios.
