Produktbeschreibung
While working on 'Bacon-Giacometti', a major exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel in 2018, the curator, writer, and art historian Michael Peppiatt carried out extensive research on the relationship between the two artists. "At one point I felt I could almost hear the two of them talking", he revealed.

For Peppiatt, the dialogue between Francis Bacon and Alberto Giacometti has been 'turning slowly' in his mind ever since Bacon told him in detail about his encounters with the Swiss artist, while the latter was in London in 1965 to supervise the preparations for his major exhibition at the Tate. This book, written in the form of a play, is about an imagined encounter between the two men.

On the evening imagined by Peppiatt, Bacon and Giacometti enjoy a lavish dinner at Wheeler's fish restaurant, then go on to the Colony Room-Bacon's favourite club in Soho-to pursue their freely flowing conversation about life, art, and their mutual friends. After a while, the club begins to empty out, but the two artists, sensing that they may never have another occasion to talk, order more champagne...
