The subject of Mark Stevens‘ next biography, for which he is leaving his art critic’s post at New York magazine (presumably to sojourn a while in England) has now been announced: Francis Bacon.
The news came in the New York Public Library’s announcement of its 2007-8 winners of its Cullman Fellowship for scholars and writers. Although the writers and projects are not yet posted at this writing on the NYPL’s Cullman website, Kate Taylor had the story in today’s NY Sun.
The 15 fellows receive stipends of $50,000 to $55,000 and an office at the library for nine months.
