1969 marked the culmination of Francis Bacon’s relationship with fellow painter and chronicler of the human condition, Lucian Freud. In this short film for Christie’s US, we look at the intimate yet epic triptych of Freud, which was sold in November 2013 in New York for $142.4 million, making it the highest selling artwork ever sold at auction.
