142 Million Dollar painting

Francis Bacon painted this painting. Which is not very outstanding to me but to some it is worth a lot of money. This is however considered one of Bacon's most iconic peices of work. Either way to me a painting is not worth 142 million or 142 dollars for that matter. The auction this was in also grossed a wopping 621 Million dollars
