Bacon to Test Revived Market

January 19, 2012 by Marion Maneker

Carol Vogel fingers Sheldon Solow, the 83 year old real estate developer, as the seller of Francis Bacon’s Portrait of Henrietta Moraes which he bought from Ernst Beyeler in 1983. Christie’s will offer in London in early February:

The Bacon portrait is not all Mr. Solow is said to be selling at Christie’s next month. Two other works from his collection are coming to auction on the evening of Feb. 7: a 1925 Miró painting, “Painting-Poem,” which is expected to fetch $9.2 million to $13.8 million; and “Reclining Figure: Festival,” a 1951 sculpture by Henry Moore, expected to bring about $5.3 million to $8.5 million.
