Glasgow, Ky | Saw this on the news......
Leading the first part of the two sales and reigning as the most expensive lot of the night was a 1964 painting depicting the British painter Lucian Freud by Francis Bacon. The work was inspired by a photograph depicting Freud sitting on a bed with his arms outstretched. Coming to the auction block after nearly 60 years out of public view and offered with a guarantee, Study for Portrait of Lucian Freud sold for £43 million ($52 million). The result met the estimated value Sotheby’s assigned to it ahead of the sale
Think I'd rather have the land for $4.8M. :-) | |
