The first exhibition held at the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation featured around a hundred items from the MB Art Collection, the personal collection of Majid Boustany, who created the Foundation. It highlighted Francis Bacon’s close ties with the Principality of Monaco, the South of France and Paris and included paintings produced by Bacon between 1929 and 1979 and several items of furniture and rugs designed by him. Dotted along the exhibition itinerary were rarely seen photographs of the artist taken by eminent photographers and some of his close friends.
