Printed on 170 gsm GardaMatt Ultra stock in Bergamo, Italy at Castelli Bolis, Francis Bacon: Catalogue Raisonnés are boxed within a cloth-bound slipcase and supplied within a bespoke protective shipping carton.In addition to the 584 paintings, the catalogue contains illuminating supporting material.
