Francis Bacon’s Paintbrushes To Be Auctioned Off., by Sacked... on Jul 28, 2013 18:19:48 GMT 1, Of the odd and unusual artifacts being auctioned at Christie’s South Kensington on September 5 as part of its “Out Of The Ordinary” sale, one of the most exciting lots is a set of Francis Bacon’s paintbrushes. According to the Guardian, the eight, well-worn paintbrushes — which come inside a tin can inside of a Perspex box — are estimated to sell for approximately £25,000, not all that surprising given the millions that his paintings typically command — earlier this year a set of Bacon’s studies for his famous series of Pope paintings that had been found on the backs of another artist’s canvases, also went to auction.

Lamberty bought the Jake and Dinos Chapman sculptures in a jar. (Now on artificialgallery!)
They did I think Andrew Lamberty bought them? Gordon Watson bought some Bacon brushes to keep. They might be some alternative ones? Lamberty bought the Jake and Dinos Chapman sculptures in a jar. (Now on artificialgallery!) |
