Reece Mews SW7: The Reconstruction of a Painter's Studio 2006

Synopsis

The film tells the fascinating story of how painter Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio in London was 'frozen in time" and reconstructed at the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin. The relocated studio, the first computerised archive of the entire contents of a world ranking artist's studio, opened to the public in 2001. It has changed the shape and focus of exhibitions of Francis Bacon's work ever since.
