An autograph note by Francis Bacon.
By BACON, FRANCIS.
A note by Bacon on lined paper, with pencil annotation to lower edge. Discusses the book of conversations between Bacon and David Sylvester which Stangos had published by Thames and Hudson. This note from 1980 the date of the publication of the second revised edition edition of the Conversations between Bacon and David Sylvester. "He took along friends like her when he moved to Thames & Hudson in 1974, and made innumerable others during 29 years as the house's art history editor and as one of its directors. His capacity to work closely with writers as diverse as David Sylvester, Rosalind Krauss, John Golding and Robert Rosenblum shows the breadth of his intellectual listening. His editing was instinctively self-effacing - alert to original thought from all directions, anxious only for it to achieve lucid form. Yet, at the same time, he commanded his collaborators' respect for the force of his own tastes and convictions, which had largely taken shape in the high modernism of the 1960s". Obituary of Nikos Stangos from the Guardian, April 2004.
