Plarkreluke Banloboh Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The record breaking $142.4 million sale of Francis Bacon's "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" shows confidence in the art market and that the very wealthy see it as a safe haven for their money, experts said on Wednesday. One of these investors-masquerading-as-art-collectors should drop $100 million on a piece of Netart if they want to see just how deep the rabbit hole goes! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I could see how in a post-apocalyptic world an immaculate, radiation-free slice of bacon could fetch 142 million bottlecaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewps Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Silence LimpyLoo!! I'd never suck your toes you filthy swine I'd never seen any work by Lucian Freud before, only ever heard about him. I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioblysk Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 *makes comment related to thread topic* I really came in here expecting some billionaire to have gone bananas and bought a massive amount of bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patternoverlap Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 "But the fact is when exceptional objects come to market in times when people have got a lot of liquid cash, and when interest rates are low, that's often an incentive to put their money into something which is absolutely magnificent in its own right ... and continue to be exceptional," ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frankie5fingers Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 *makes comment related to thread topic* I really came in here expecting some billionaire to have gone bananas and bought a massive amount of bacon. i had a similar thought, but instead of a lot of bacon i figured it was just one strip that has been aging for over 3000 years.

Schlitze Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I really like his work but would be unwilling to pay 1/1200th of that much. I was recently searching for some decent size prints of his, poster size, all i could find was some really small overpriced A4 prints which i didn't buy. Bought a couple of 100cm x 70cm Mark Rothko prints and a rug in the same pattern which really ties the room together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I wonder how much of this is an incentive of the direction of the coming year: last year it was Wilhelm's Scream (Fear and the 2012 phenomennon paranoia), now it's the grandson of Sigmund Freud (psychoanalysis). Maybe I'm just seeing ghosts, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
