3. Portrait of George Dyer Staring at Blind Cord lithograph, 1966, 33.5 x 25 cm, £845
There are less than 50 different Bacon lithographs, all of which are after paintings. While Bacon did not directly execute the lithographs himself, he was always intricately associated, allowing only the world's greatest lithographers to be involved in the production process. But he loved the idea that his work could be disseminated to an audience who would never be able to afford his original paintings. His signed lithographs, in editions of up to 250, now fetch between £5k and £30k each.

Ivan Green - The Stowe Series
Just published:
Ivan Green’s new series of Stowe prints Ivan Green has a curious and extraordinary ability to capture the spirit of place as a fusion of collaged memories.
The theme of the magic of ruin and decay which so appealed to Piper and many other artists, visual and literary, is continued in the fine art photography of Ivan Green. Using layer upon layer of separate images, melded, fused and overlaid into a final image through the artist’s eye and aided by digital technology, the tone and textures of his images are taken from all parts of the Stowe estate.
Like their eighteenth century forbears, Stoics and visitors should delight in the meditation and discussion produced by Green’s imaginative inventions, the visual games encouraged from the viewer as he or she seeks to identify a fragment of sculpture, mis-located and juxtaposed with disparate architecture or creeping Nature. Distortion, decay, delight and deception fill these prints.
These images are Green’s twenty-first century homage to Stowe’s landscape, buildings and Temples of Delight. Crispin Robinson MA, M.Phil Deputy Head (Academic), Stowe School, March 2009
