Brit. Bacon Makes £10m

More silly news from the anti-art world: Francis Bacon's Seated Woman - an alleged portrait of Muriel Belcher - fetched the highest price for a contemporary work of art in France at a Sotheby's auction in Paris on Wednesday. It sold for 13,696,250 of those euro thingies ($20,046,242 or about £10m). I thought the French had better artistic taste than this. Now think about Shaun's Faun. If somebody offers your museum or gallery an unknown Bacon next week, how do you tell the real rubbish from imitation rubbish? Provenance. But what if the provenance is also a forgery? You fall back on your clueless curator for advice. Sold!
