The artwork, known as "Three Studies for a Portrait of George Dyer," is a 1963 portrait series by famed painter Francis Bacon.

Aficionados will step into the artist's dark and anguished world when "Francis Bacon: Paintings from the 1950s" opens May 4 at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery with major funding from the M&T foundation.

Organized by the MFA and the Pompidou Center in Paris, it looks at Bacon, an icon and an enigma, from the early 1970s to his death in 1992. Bacon was a nervy, sulfuric, irascible artist.

Francis Bacon’s “Triptych Inspired by the Oresteia of Aeschylus” fetched $84.6 million at Sotheby’s, giving the high-end art market a boost after a months-long slump caused by the pandemic.
