Did you know that Francis Bacon’s Two Seated Figures and Seated Figure, 1979, derived from a photograph in the book ‘The Parade’s Gone By’? I am very proud that my research is mentioned frequently throughout the new ‘Francis Bacon Catalogue Raisonné’. The seminal publication was edited by Martin Harrison and was published by The Estate of Francis Bacon in June 2016.
