How much is a Francis Bacon painting worth?
1 Answer

How much a Francis Bacon painting is worth depends on its condition, size, history and other characteristics. In 2013, his piece Three Studies of Lucian Freud sold for more than $142 million at auction. At the time, it was the most expensive painting ever to be sold. Born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1909, the prominent British painter and printmaker created controversial art until his death in 1992. Bacon's oil paintings simultaneously repel and intrigue the viewer with their bold, grotesque figures. To obtain an estimated value for any Bacon piece you own, consult a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Francis Bacon art.
