London: Barbican Art and 21 Publishing, 2001. Book. Very Good. Soft cover. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Softcover. Condition: Very good, binding sound, no inscriptions. 112pp. Many colour illustrations. This catalogue was produced to accompany the exhibtion of papers, photographs, sketches and collages allegedly given by Francis Bacon to his friend Barry Joule just a few days before he died in 1992. The papers were controversial as during his lifetime Bacon always said that he did not draw, making attribution difficult. However, if officially recognised, the papers would revolutionise the understanding of Bacon's work. The papers are to date (2022) still not completely officially recognised, particularly by the Francis Bacon Estate..
