The special exhibition Bacon, Freud, and the London Painters presented works created by 'The School of London' in the decades following World War II. 

 

Inspired by existentialism as a collective current in post-war Europe, elements from the Theatre of the Absurd were included in the layout of the presentation.

 

The exhibition scenography was open and void of choreography, the free-standing walls in the gallery underlining the fact that there is no correct path to follow in life – only innumerable possibilities. In the centre a stage-like construction framed the visitors.

 

The exhibition was made in collaboration with Tate, London.
