How an influential painter's studio was moved in its entirety from London to Ireland.

How an influential painter's studio was moved in its entirety from a London house to a gallery in Ireland.  Every drip of paint and scrap of paper was carefully transported.

In 1998 the influential painter's studio was moved in its entirety from a London house to a gallery in Ireland. Francis Bacon had worked in the chaotic room for 30 years up until his death.  Every drip of paint and scrap of paper was carefully transported.  Vincent Dowd has been speaking to Barbara Dawson of the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin about the project.
