Saeed; I cannot agree with you more. That painting reminds me of a painting a lady tried to sell me. It was hidious, I tried to be polite while declining. She would not take the hint that I was not interested until I said that i would not use her painting to patch holes in my chicken house. You would have thought that I thumped her between the eyes with my index finger. She was offended and distraught. More importantly she took her painting and went away.

I have a Picasso which I bought about 50 years ago, My wife hates it, so I used to have it hanging in our downstairs bathroom next to my shop and the recreation room. In this newer, much smaller house it is stored in a drawer under a bed in one of the guest rooms. I really like some of Picasso's work, but I think the work I have seen by Bacon would be a good way to permanently scare away cockroaches, or to make an enemy upchuck by flashing it at him in battle...thus making him temporarily defenseless.
Now Salvador Dali, I really like. There were a bunch of his ink drawings for sale at the University of Oklahoma in the mid 1960's and I have always regretted not buying 4 or more of them...they were only $40 apiece!!!

How much would it be worth, if the boyfriend didn't kill himself? I imagine that is the whole reason that the price is absurdly ridiculous, or even sought after!
I did an electrical renovation on a house for an artist who did similar stuff. Dimitri Paetrov, a one armed drunk. I asked him what a painting he was busily slopping paint on meant. "Meaning? It means the plumber wants another $4000, and some idiot in NYC will pay that much for something like this!"
It should be modified to put the subject in a RED star Trek shirt and renamed to "Transporter Accident"... other than that very limited use it looks like Whale Vomit
If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day! Those who manage to provoke themselves into other activities have only themselves to blame.
