Thirty years after his death\, his working methods and the origins of his iconography have been l ittle explored. New analyses\, based on the contents of his last studio at 7 Reece Mews in London-a colorful\, ankle-deep mess of battered books\, p aint-smeared photographs\, and newspaper fragments-open surprising perspec tives on the genesis of his works: to a previously unknown extent\, Bacon drew on the photographic material he collected in his studios for his pict orial program. Turning Figure\, 1963 in the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Sie gen and its pre-images\, is an example of 369 paintings by Bacon that coul d be linked to one or more photographic references. In this lecture\, it s erves as a starting point for describing and interpreting patterns and met hods in artistic preparatory work and in the adoption of photographic mate rial\, but also for locating the limits of Bacon's interest in the photogr aphic template as well as its usefulness for his work.\n\n\nDr. Katharina Günther is an expert on modern and contemporary art and photography with a focus on figurative British postwar painting. She studied art history at the University of Cologne and completed her PhD there in 2019 with a thesi s on Francis Bacon's iconographic templates (Boston/Berlin 2022). Since 20 09\, she has worked as a researcher for The Estate of Francis Bacon\, the Francis Bacon MB Art Foundation\, and the John Deakin Archive in Dublin an d London\, including at Tate Britain and Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane . Most recently\, she built the official Bacon Estates website as project manager. Since 2020\, she has been Scientific Director of the Marbach Weim ar Wolfenbüttel Research Network at the Klassik Stiftung Weimar.\n\nTicket included in the entrance fee. Please take notice of our current safety gu idelines.\n\nThe lecture is in German. It will be recorded and provided on YouTube afterwards.
