An online bidder participating from China competed with a determined client bidding by phone with Grégoire Billault of our New York Contemporary Art department in a dramatic 10-minute battle for this Bacon masterpiece. The work sold to the phone bidder. The painting is one of 28 large-format triptychs that Bacon created between 1962 and 1991, and only the 6th example ever to appear at auction. Inspired by Aeschylus’s trilogy of Greek tragedies dating to the 5th century B.C., the triptych stands as one of the most ambitious, enigmatic, and important works of Bacon’s œuvre. The sale continues now on our livestream on sothebys.com – watch live and check our Story for more highlights throughout the auction! #SothebysContemporary #FrancisBacon #ContemporaryArt」6月30日 10時22分
