Francis Bacon // originals catalogue

This selection of Francis Bacon’s original works gives a clear view of his career and the ideas that shaped it. Spanning from his early experiments in the 1930s to his final paintings in the 1990s, the works show how his approach developed while his focus stayed consistent. Each piece reflects his interest in the human figure and his ability to turn personal experience into something universal.
