Following its run at Tate Liverpool earlier this year, the exhibition 'Francis Bacon. Invisible Rooms' travels to Germany's Staatsgalerie Stuttgart this month. From 7 October, forty major paintings and triptychs as well as rarely shown works on paper, will be showcased in an exhibition exploring Francis Bacon's pictorial strategy. The remarkable positioning of Francis Bacon's subjects is the focus, showing how Bacon's 'invisible rooms' emphasise the isolation of his sitters and direct attention to their psychological states.
The exhibition is further illuminated by a German/English bilingual catalogue. The book is edited by Ina Conzen and contains contributions from members of Staatsgalerie Stuttgart and Tate Liverpool, as well as Christian Spies and Martin Lewis Harrison.
