Went to Christie's to see the results of yesterday's Post-War and Contemporary, so yes there he remained.
Stunned .
For all news regurgitate the news about the new record prices for paintings - triptych by Francis Bacon 142 405 000 $ . And the estimate was available on request , according to unofficial sources in the $ 85 million that was just a sales record Bacon. That is, they started with a record - safely . I thank God not asked to make a prediction on it , and then sat down in a puddle with his careful - " He'll get away before the $ 100 million " to assume more afraid .
