Although he already holds the record for British or Irish work ever auctioned, Francis Bacon's Triptych is expected to break records when it reaches Christie's auction block on February 6th. Most likely surpassing the 25 million pounds mark the three dark paintings speaking to his late lover's tragic death are undeniably some of his greatest works ever to be auctioned. Although it does not have a romantic tone, imagine what your lover would do if this was their Valentine's gift? That is if you feel they are worth the massive price tag.
