Portrait Of Francis Bacon Sells For $5.4 MILLION... But They Wanted $7 MILLION!!!!!!!
The unfinished work, one of only two oil paintings that Freud ever
undertook of Bacon, had been predicted to fetch up to $7 million when
it went under the hammer at Christie's in London.
It is the second disappointing price for a major contemporary work
in the capital's auction rooms in recent days, as the financial crisis
takes its toll on what had been a booming market.
Skulls, a composite work by Andy Warhol, sold for $4.3 million - $2.7 million less than expected - at Sotheby's on Friday night.
Freud's painting of an overweight JobCentre worker asleep on a sofa
sold for £19.1 million in New York in May, a record for a living
artist, but there is now concern that prices have passed their peak.
Freud and Bacon, both British painters, were friends for many years
until the latter's death in 1992. The portrait, which was completed in
1967 and had been owned by a private collector since 1972, was sold for
$5,417, 250.
The auction was timed to coincide with this weekend's Frieze Art Fair in Regent's Park.
