Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné-published on the anniversary of the artist's death-is a landmark publishing event that presents the entire oeuvre of Bacon's work for the first time and includes over 100 previously unpublished paintings. The impeccably produced multi-volume, slipcased publication, containing over 500 works, 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.The contains over 900 illustrations across five cloth-bound hardcover volumes. The three 400-page volumes that make up the study of Bacon's entire oeuvre are bookended by two further 192- page volumes; the former including an introduction, a chronology, and an index, and the latter a catalogue of Bacon's sketches and an illustrated bibliography compiled by Krzysztof Cieszkowski. Printed on 170 gsm Garda Matt stock in Bergamo, Italy at Castelli Bolis, the five volumes of Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonné are boxed within a cloth-bound slipcase, and supplied within a bespoke protective shipping carton.
