Looks like DC will be able to afford that Francis Bacon painting! He deserves every penny!

it seems so
His agent made a good deal, no need of back-end with THAT.

Hih, good for him, deserves every penny!!
But he might have to wait a little bit longer for a Bacon, at least the bigger ones. I've seen price tags at 20-30 million dollars/euros per painting from major auction houses...
Eg this one:

And then it would probably be necessary to live in a fortress with that much money hanging on your wall!

wow, I did not know Bacon paintings were so high priced ...
In a newspaper there was an article about him being in Yorkshire? with an art trader, I think around Christmas. This art trader is into modern art. I remember having a look to the artists he represents and it was very modern stuff ... Sure these artists are much more affordable than Bacon. He may be planning on getting one of those.
I don't have the time now to find the article and post the art galleryname and artists so anyone can have a look.
