Met Museum to look at Francis Bacon
Art lovers should remember to fit a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art into their New York tours this summer to see an exhibition of work by Francis Bacon.
The major retrospective will be open from May 20th until August 16th at the famous museum on the eastern edge of Central Park.
Arranged to mark the 100th anniversary of Bacon’s birth, the exhibition will be the first major showcase in New York dedicated to the artist in 20 years.
Now recognised as one of the most influential and important painters of the 20th century, Bacon was known for creating bold and expressive pieces of art that often featured nightmarish imagery.
Some 130 works will feature in the Met Museum exhibition - 65 paintings and 65 archival items - spanning the entirety of his career.
Until May 24th this year, the New York museum will present a display of French sculpture from the Renaissance era to the rime of the revolution, featuring pieces by Germain Pilon, Michel Anguier and others.
New York – From the dizzy heights of the Empire State Building to the serene Central Park, New York has it all!
