The Tate’s Francis Bacon retrospective is coming to NYC soon. It will be a great show of a great artist. I wish I had an oopportunity to see it: Bacon is one of my favourite artists.
For more on the show, see Richard Lacayo blog, Looking Around at TIME.com.
Smart People I Know 
Man, wish I could see that.
This Francis Bacon is related to a Francis Bacon, centuries earlier! Believe it or not, he is the cousin of Up to Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co. President Donald Carl Jerner!
Interestingly, the Boston Brahmin branch Bacon, is related to Francis Bacon! Donald Carl Jerner is a direct descendant of Weld and he is a Boston Brahmin!
