Bacon biography to HarperPress
25.06.08 Jo Young
Arabella Pike of HarperPress has beaten off competition from six other publishers in an auction for the rights to a new biography of artist Francis Bacon.
Pike finalised the deal for UK and Commonwealth (excluding Canada), exclusive Europe and serial rights to the biography, co-written by Annalyn Swan and Mark Stevens, from agent Clare Conville of Conville and Walsh.
The authors, who won the Pulitzer Price for their 2005 biography of artist Willem de Kooning, are the first to write a Bacon biography using full access to the artist's archives and personal papers.
