A further monument… to George Dyer’s tragic fall, it is a painting in which a whole range of Baconian devices are brought together with a compelling mastery”—David Sylvester Standing among the great icons of Francis Bacon’s oeuvre, ‘Figure in Movement’ is an extraordinary meditation on love, loss and the transience of the human condition. Painted in 1976, it takes its place within the canon of masterworks that followed the tragic death of his beloved George Dyer in 1971. In ‘Figure in Movement,’ Bacon bids farewell to his lover. It is a powerful image of the traces life leaves behind, and of the forces that animate them in memory. Shortly after its creation, ‘Figure in Movement’ was unveiled alongside the black triptychs in Bacon’s solo exhibition at the Musée Cantini in Marseille. With an outstanding exhibition history that includes landmark retrospectives at the Tate Gallery, London, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris and more, this piece has been widely celebrated in scholarship. Most recently, it was featured in the 2018 Beyeler Foundation exhibition Bacon – Giacometti. We are thrilled to unveil this work in Hong Kong on 4 October and to offer in our upcoming New York 20th Century Evening Sale this November. 20th Century Evening Sale | New York
