The works on paper in this exhibition come from the Barry Joule Archive and are attributed to Francis Bacon. There is some, but not much, continuing debate about their origins in the studio of the artist and at the time of writing, the Archive, which includes the X Album and related material has not yet been fully accepted by the Francis Bacon Estate.There has been much discussion in the general and art media in Britain but very few people have actually seen the material first hand.
