Roman Abramovich bought the Bacon triptych for £ 23 million? Bashny.Net

brush painting by British artist Francis Bacon's "Three Studies of Lucian Freud," was sold at auction in London auction house Sotheby's for 23 million pounds. Along with other works of Salvador Dali "Portrait of Paul Eluard" (below), departed for 13, 5 million. Pounds, the total "harvest" the auction amounted to 93, 5 million. Pounds. This is much higher than the estimate of 39, 3-55 million. Pounds. Buyers work, as usual, chose to remain anonymous. Rumor has it that the new owner of the triptych Bacon was a Russian businessman Roman Abramovich. The logic of these assumptions is obvious: since 2008 he has not stinted on Bacon spend £ 43 million., He could not quite fill his private collection of the work of another author. Moreover, few would pay three times more than the estimate, and for the Russian buyers of its fame spender. It remains to wonder how close to the truth of these arguments. In Bacon, for sure, there are other wealthy admirers. Triptych, which depicts the artist Lucien Freud, dated 1964 year. Jobs never exhibited since the writing and kept in a private collection.
