In the August of that year, the Francis Bacon’s legendary studio was relocated from 7 Reece Mews, London to Dublin in 1998 and now is permanently on display in the Hugh Lane Gallery. Join Barbara for a behind-the-scenes look at this achievement, delving further into the life and art of one of the most important figurative artists of the 20th Century.
