Christie’s sale sees Tony O’Malley bring home Francis Bacon

Des O’Sullivan reports on a split canvas holding a nude by Francis Bacon. 

Francis Bacon added considerable value to Tony O’Malley’s art at Christie’s in London last week.

When a lost unfinished nude by Bacon surfaced on the back of two works by O’Malley, Christie’s offered it as one lot with an estimate of £20,000-30,000 (€25,330-€37,990).
