Title: Francis Bacon – Hanover Gallery Exhibition Catalogue (1957) – First Edition Description: Rare and original exhibition catalogue from the Hanover Gallery, published on the occasion of the exhibition of Francis Bacon held between 21 March and 26 April 1957 in London. Printed in 1957 by Graphis Press Ltd, this scarce first edition catalogue comprises 12 pages and measures approximately 22 x 18.5 cm. It represents an important early document of Bacon’s career, capturing a pivotal moment when his distinctive visual language—marked by distorted human forms and intense emotional expression—was gaining critical recognition. The 1957 Hanover Gallery exhibition played a key role in consolidating Bacon’s reputation as one of the most important post-war British artists. The gallery itself, founded by Erica Brausen, was instrumental in promoting avant-garde art in Britain during the mid-20th century.
