Now available from HENI Publishing, the Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné.
Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné is a landmark publishing event that presents the entire oeuvre of Francis Bacon’s paintings for the first time and includes many previously unpublished works. The impeccably-produced five-volume, slipcased publication, containing each of Bacon’s 584 paintings, has been edited by Martin Harrison, FSA, the pre-eminent expert on Bacon’s work, alongside research assistant Dr. Rebecca Daniels. An ambitious and painstaking project that has been ten years in the making, this seminal visual document eclipses in scope any previous publication on the artist and will have a profound effect on the perception of his work.
This landmark publishing event presents the entire oeuvre of Bacon’s paintings for the first time in a deluxe five-volume boxed set.
Containing around 800 illustrations across 1,538 pages within five cloth-bound hardcover volumes, the three volumes that make up the study of Bacon’s entire painting oeuvre are bookended by two further volumes. The first includes an introduction and a chronology, and the second contains a catalogue of Bacon’s sketches, an index, and an illustrated bibliography compiled by Krzysztof Cieszkowski. Printed on 170 gsm GardaMatt Ultra stock in Bergamo, Italy at Castelli Bolis, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné is boxed within a cloth-bound slipcase and supplied within a bespoke protective shipping carton.
