Francis Bacon: Faces & Figures

Published on the occasion of the exhibition Francis Bacon: Faces and Figures at Skarstedt, New York, this catalogue includes full plate images, details, installation images, and a text by Joachim Pissarro.

The exhibition brought together a group of masterworks spanning the 1950s to the 1970s. Featuring depictions of some of his most beloved friends, lovers, and muses—Peter Lacy, George Dyer, Muriel Belcher, and Henrietta Moraes—along with an intimate self-portrait and a portrait of Pope Pius XII, the exhibition traces poignant moments of loss and companionship through the perennial influences that have come to define Bacon's oeuvre.
