Here’s boredom for you! I was on hold forever and the Muzak was driving me crazy… so I photoshopped Jerry Lewis into Francis Bacon’s studio for no reason at all.

Everyone can draw their own conclusions: "Time to invest in the art market? New 'stock exchange for art' to launch at the Victoria & Albert Museum this month" by Anny Shaw.

"Artex, a new "online stock exchange for art", offered its first initial public offering (IPO) in an event at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London last night—Francis Bacon's Three Studies for a Portrait of George Dyer. The painting last sold at auction in May 2017 for nearly $52m and will be offered to investors starting at around $55m. Dealings will begin on 21 July."
"All works of art—or art IPOs—are owned by Artex, which will issue the shares, worth €100 each. These shares can then be bought, sold or traded on a secondary market on the Artex exchange. Shareholders are limited to a 10% stake in each work; anything above that threshold triggers a takeover bid, which could be outbid."

Interested in how Francis Bacon influenced science? Here's a meeting with the author of a book about 4 figures that were profoundly influenced by Bacon and changed the course of modern science!

🎬 Detective Benoit Blanc isn't 's first character. He played British painter 's "straight" petty thief/boxer lover in "Love is the Devil" (1998). You *must see Craig's bathtub scene! Derek Jacoby's Bacon is 🔥; Craig's "George Dyer" is 🔥 x🔥! youtu.be/YUiDukwceD0

I love the mid 20C London figurative painters Thinking of Chicago figurative painters of the same era: Ivan Albright, "Self-Portrait," 1925.

Just a gorgeous 17th-century book, courtesy of the Bodleian Library collection:

Francis Bacon's Novum Organum (1620), in a temptingly strokable velvet binding emblazoned with a golden wild boar – the author's personal badge (Bacon 🥓🐗 ? come on now)

This Figure by was painted in 1962. It makes me think of someone chained to their chair surrounded by chaos. It resides in the Gallery in Dublin, where his entire studio has been reconstructed. This painting is one of my favourites.

These are two paintings of by . In the triptych of her face, she comes across as a powerful, noble woman. She was, in her own right, a writer, poet, and painter. She was also a muse for both Bacon and . The second painting is a large piece with such strong blues that they impose strength of her, which was appropriate. She stands tall, looking back at chaos, unmoved by it all. I adore these two pieces and also admire that Bacon recognised her worth.
