Francis Bacon: Important Paintings from the Estate

by Francis Bacon, John Deakin (Photographer), Sam Hunter

Francis Bacon is a painter whose reputation, legendary at the time of his death in 1992, continues to grow. Recent biographies, a movie based on his life, and now the announcement of recently discovered, until now unseen Bacon paintings, have all focused public attention on an artist generally regarded as among the greatest of the latter half of the 20th century. This deluxe publication, printed with the highest quality reproductions on premium paper, catalogues an exhibition at the Tony Shafrazzi Gallery in New York that many Bacon experts feel is among the most important ever -- in no small part because of the until now unseen works, which are included here for the first time.
