Francis, are you kiddin' me?!



I would never have to work another day of my life if I only had a Francis Bacon painting. This painting, Study for Head of George Dyer, sold at Sotheby's of London on July 1st for 27,473,048 US$. This was the highest price paid for a painting during the month of July.

If you're interested, go to ArtNet's auction results page to see the top ten prices paid at auction monthly. I was happy to see my boy Frans Hals representin' Northern Baroque in the hizzouse at #3 on the list.
