Gagosian gallery will present three significant late paintings by Francis Bacon in a dedicated exhibition at its Paris location on Rue de Castiglione. The show, running from April 11 to May 30, 2026, features 'Study from the Human Body — Figure in Movement' (1982), 'Study from the Human Body' (1986), and 'Man at a Washbasin' (1989-1990), marking the first time these specific works have been shown together.
The exhibition highlights Bacon's profound and enduring connection to Paris, a city that deeply influenced his life and work. It provides a focused look at his late period, contextualizing the paintings within his frequent stays in the city, his 1971 Grand Palais retrospective, and his 1984 show at Galerie Maeght-Lelong. The choice of venue underscores the gallery's intent to frame Bacon's work within the Parisian landscape that shaped it, offering new insights into his final creative phase.
