Bacon In Moscow

I have written before about the Moscow art scene, dominated by two women attached to multi-billionaire Russian moguls.  Now, Dhasha Zukhova, girlfriend-partner to Roman Abramovich, has announced the first major international show at her CCC Moscow mega-gallery.

Entitled “Death Shadowing Life: Francis Bacon: The Late Paintings, 1971-92”, [the show] will be curated by Martin Harrison, author of the artist’s forthcoming catalogue raisonné and will travel to the Hermitage in St Petersburg.

Good for her.  It helps that her boyfriend bought a tryptich by Francis Bacon in May for $86m, the highest price ever paid for a post-war work.  It will no doubt be a centrepiece of the exhibition.
