A painting of Peter Doig sold for $10million yesterday and at the same auction a Francis Bacon only got just over $2 million !!
The work, “White Canoe” a 1991 canvas of a boat on a lake that mirrors trees, went to an unidentified telephone bidder. (The price does not include the commission.) The previous record for a Doig painting was his “Iron Hill,” which sold for $2.1 million in June at Sotheby’s (more after the jump)link
