The present lot was gifted by Francis Bacon to Clive Barker, a fellow artist, in 1978. Barker had a working relationship with Bacon in the 60's & 70's with Barker casting a gilt-bronze life mask of Bacon in 1969 which can now be seen in the National Portrait Gallery.
The paintbrushes would no doubt have formed part of Bacon's Reece Mews studio in South Kensington where the iconic images of him surrounded by old canvases, cans of brushes and the walls daubed with paint have been documented by various photographers. Subsequently the lot was sold by the artist and found its way onto the television programme 'Four Rooms' on Channel Four where it was eventually sold to dealer Gordon Watson.
