Francis Bacon portrait I

Francis Bacon
USD$9,577

Description

Edition unknown. Signed by Bacon below the image and Giacobetti on the verso. Giacobetti had long admired the work of Bacon, and when they eventually met in 1991, the artist was most co-operative with the photographer's requests and they met each other another 11 times over the next few months. This led to a substantial and revelatory filmed interview and the collaborative participation of an extended photographic portrait session taken in two London hotels, 11 Cadagon Gardens and Browns. Gelatin silver print laid on board as issued. Image size: 38 x 56.5 cm. Sheet size: 60 x 56.5 cm. Framed size: 70 x 66.7 cm. Excellent condition. Presented in a black wooden frame with conservation acrylic glazing.
