Art behind closed doors 2 Comments Two self-portraits by artist Francis Bacon will shortly go on show for the first time. Unseen by the public. The artworks are titled Self-Portrait 1975 and Three Studies for Self-Portrait (1980). This is now our opportunity to appreciate these hidden gems of art. BBC News report that the paintings will fetch a value of £30 million. But we can now all enjoy and experience the work. For a short time.
