Francis Bacon & Andy Warhol Art Set Contemporary Auction Record
March 4, 2008 | Posted by Allison as Artsy Fartsy, Auctions at 11:00 am |
According to auction giant Sotheby’s, pieces by Francis Bacon & Andy Warhol have been auctioned off for the staggering figure $190 million. Now, that’s a lot of Snickers bars.
Due to the large amount of cash the modern art pieces brought in, Sotheby’s is claiming a new world record for a European art auction.
The pieces that were sold included: Francis Bacon’s ‘Study of Nude With Figure In A Mirror’, which brought in $40 million & three of Andy Warhol’s self-portraits sold for $23 million.
I guess it’s high time we all started painting.
