Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane together with the the Centro di Cultura Contemporanea Strozzina, Florence is organising the exhibition Traces of Time (03 October 2012–27 January 2013) in Florence . This exhibition will investigate and critique the work of Francis Bacon and a group of internationally renowned contemporary artists (Adrian Ghenie, Annegret Soltau, Chiharu Shiota, Arcangelo Sassolino, Nathalie Djurberg) who share Bacon’s interest in the depiction of the human figure and its existential condition. The exhibition will focus on a group of figurative paintings by Francis Bacon in conjunction with a selection of visual material from the artist's studio archive, now in the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane and on exhibition in Italy for the very first time.
