Sotheby’s will offer Three Studies for Portrait of George Dyer by Francis Bacon
This summer, in its flagship Evening sale of Contemporary Art in London, Sotheby’s will offer Three Studies for Portrait of George Dyer by Francis Bacon.
Depicting the man who was the love of Bacon’s life at the moment when they were most deeply involved, this exceptionally rare lifetime depiction of Dyer is full of the painterly exuberance that marks out Bacon as one of the greatest painters of the 20th century.
An outstanding example of Bacon at the height of his powers, this museum-quality work is also of critical importance because it is, in all likelihood, the first painting for which Bacon used the legendary photographs by his friend John Deakin as source material for a painting. An outstanding example of Bacon at the height of his powers, this exceptional work has only rarely been seen in public.
Having remained in the same collection since 1970, it now comes to auction for the first time ever with an estimate of £15-20 million.
