     There was one major disappointment at the auction however, as “Study for
     Portrait of P.L.,” a painting by Francis Bacon of his violent, alcohol lover Peter Lacey failed to attract a single bid despite its suggested price tag of between $30-40 million

     I reckon we could go into business and turn those out at five per day, Robert.
     A paint roller, blue paint and some canvas…voila! instant beer money.

     Piece of cake. Making money is so easy if you know the right people.

       Too right. These people aren’t buying “art”, they’re playing pass the parcel and gambling that there will always be somebody greedier than them hoping to make a profit.
