Bacon archive to Tate
The Tate Britain gallery has received a collection of 1,200 pieces from artist Francis Bacon, owned by a friend of the late painter. Barry Joule, a neighbour and friend of the artist since 1978, has in his collection photographs and documents of the painter, who died in 1992 aged 82.From the BBC.Tate said it hoped getting the collection would help "scholars to resolve remaining issues about Bacon's working practice". The items will eventually go on show. Parts of the collection have already been shown at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin in 2000 and at the Barbican Centre in London in 2001.
