The Francis Bacon MB Foundation in Monaco has recently launched its new publication, Francis Bacon: Study for a Portrait.

The hardback book contains over 180 photographs of Bacon captured by over 60 photographers. With only 584 limited, numbered editions printed – reflecting the number of paintings by Bacon - the exclusive books each come with a signed and numbered print by the French photographer Michel Nguyen.

Alongside photographs, photographers have included anecdotes and memories of the shoots within the book, giving readers a new insight into the artist and the world in which he lived.

There are only 300 copies of Francis Bacon: Study for a Portrait available for sale via the Foundation, as well as at The Photographers’ Gallery bookshop in London and Centre Pompidou bookshop in Paris.
