Finally, I’ll get a chance to see a large selection of Bacon’s work:
“An exhibition of the work of Francis Bacon (1909-1992) opening in September 2008 at Tate Britain will be a major celebration heralding the artist’s centenary in 2009… The exhibition will tour to Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid… It will then travel to the US to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York from 18 May – 16 August 2009. ”
In the meantime, I’ll have to be content with exploring the Tate’s extremely cool Flash presentation:

I’ve donated my painting “Ascension” to the good folks at the Brooklyn Artists Gym for a fundraising event for The BAG Fund.
BKLYN:111
In anticipation of Brooklyn’s 111th year as a New York City Borough, The BAG Fund presents BKLYN:111: an exhibition, a fundraising event, a dialogue about our urban space both as environment and as a participant in the creative process.
BKLYN:111 opens October 18th with a free reception during the AGAST Studio Tour and closes in grand fashion on October 25 with a party called “Everybody Gets Art” from 6pm on.
At the “Everybody Gets Art” party:
- 110 works of art on the wall from 65 artists.
- 110 ticket holders.
- When a ticket holder’s number is called, they have 11 seconds to find the work of art they want and take it off the wall.
- Party!
Filming the art frenzy is the 111th work of art. Collectors meet the artists and artists meet the collectors. And all of the proceeds go to The BAG Fund. You will be able to preview the art at The BAG Fund website, or by coming to the BAG Gallery during the week of Oct. 18.
Tickets to get art: $200.
General admission: FREE.
