Below Francis Bacon poses with one of his triptychs for John Minihan in Paris, 1977, estimated at $10,000–$15,000.
And no sale of this caliber would be complete without a great Warhol snap; at bottom is Burt Glinn’s Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, and Chuck Wein, New York City, taken in 1965, estimated at $3,000–$4,000.
