Last year, Sotheby’s shared remarkable video stories. One of them was this short video where Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons brought to life excerpts from the artist’s interviews with David Sylvester and revealed Bacon’s own thoughts about his celebrated self-portraits.
Two Studies for a Self-Portrait, painted by the artist in 1970, sold for nearly $35 million during Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction in New York on 11 May 2016.
Enjoy the video.
