Record sales of works

[edit]

I added this since the sale is record and NOTABLE, breaking last year's. On May 14, 2008, the “Triptych, 1976,” “a landmark of the 20th-century canon,” sold at Sotheby's contemporary art sale for $ 86.28 million, a record for the artist at auction. It was being sold by the Moeuix family, producers of Château Petrus wines.nytimes.com, Bacon Painting Auctioned for Record $86 Million This sale breaks the 2007 record for his work of $ 52.68 million. The triptych remained in the same European collection since its 1977 purchase from a London gallery.reuters.com/article, Bacon painting sets postwar auction record --Florentino floro (talk) 07:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
