A painting from Francis Bacon’s iconic screaming Pope series, which has not been seen in public since 1975, is hitting the auction block where it is expected to sell for as much as $25 million, Sotheby’s said on Thursday.
“Untitled (Pope),” which Bacon painted circa 1954, will be sold at the November 13 New York sale of impressionist and modern art, the auction house said in a statement.
