The Lucian Freud portrait of Francis Bacon sold for £5.4 million- well under its asking price. That's still a hell of a lot of money.

He gives everyone much the same treatment- and his pictures of men are as uncompromising as those of women, and often foreground flaccid penises. I agree that there's something a bit "naff" about painting your daughter in the nude.

I think he's a good, minor artist, I like a lot of what he does, I just reckon his prices are too high.
