Tate Britain, Millbank, Westminster, SW1P 4RG
How Much:
£13.00 (Highest Price)
, £5.00 (Lowest Price)
Almost certainly the exhibition of the year. Francis Bacon is universally recognised as one of the most important artists of the Twentieth Century and probably also one of the greatest British painters of all time.
His darkly brooding figurative works are richly laden with references to classical texts, biblical scenes and the artist's personal friendships. And his life was as tortured as his art.
This promises to be a thorough and fascinating exploration of Bacon's power and influence: some of his finest works are on show, including three Studies for a Crucifixion and his Pope Innocent X series. Missing this would be a terrible mistake.
Until 04.01.09.
