What a very interesting article. Having read in the DYK blurb that there were 28 known Bacon triptychs, I wondered what they all were. There's no list of them in the article. Rather than add the list there straight away, I thought I'd start it here at least. I've ordered the list by date. Any input welcome as it's far from complete. 82.32.238.139 (talk) 15:55, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
