There is a wide variety of work on display by 48 international artists. They are drawn from public and private collections around the world, and include new works made especially for the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>In one room a pair of shoes are suspended by balloons as a nod to Jackson&#8217;s signature dance moves.
