The trusty New York Times recaps the Hong Kong International Art Fair, which ended this past Sunday. Check it out here.
The article specifies that two Francis Bacon portraits offered by Ben Brown Fine Arts were a big draw at the event. I point this out because I finally saw Love is the Devil last night– the artsy 1998 Bacon biography that focuses on his troubled romantic relationship with George Dyer. It’s a fantastic story, but I give the movie a solid ‘ok’ to ‘ok+’. Fun tidbit, though, the cast includes (a hardly recognizable) Tilda Swinton and (a naked) Daniel Craig before they became the huge stars they are today.
