Francis Bacon Studio complex consists of the reconstructed studio, display cases presenting a changing selection of items from the studio, an audio-visual room showing Melvyn Bragg’s celebrated interview with Francis Bacon, a micro gallery with touch screen terminals and a number of fascinating unfinished works by Francis Bacon.

Francis Bacon Display Cases: The Artist and his Oeuvre
Until 30 August 2009

Reproductions of Francis Bacon’s own paintings lined the wall of his kitchen at 7 Reece Mews and many reproductions of his work including torn leaves from books, magazines and catalogues, as well as photographs were found among the items in his studio.

As well as offering the opportunity for continuously looking at previous compositions and subjects as important sources of inspiration, Bacon also on occasion over-painted these reproductions of his own finished paintings as another way of exploring and developing new compositional and pictorial ideas in his work.
