1 work across 1 institution

Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam holds 1 work by Francis Bacon (1909–1992) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Bacon's paintings are violent, compressed, and deeply psychological — bodies in his triptychs writhe in isolation against raw colour fields. In person, the physical density of his paint — applied with rags, brushes, and chance — gives the figures a presence that reproductions reduce to shock.
