Biographer Adrian Clark and writer Charlie Porter discuss the life and work of philanthropist, collector and ICA founder Peter Watson (1908-1956). This marks both the publication of Queer Saint: The Cultured Life of Peter Watson (John Blake, 2015), co-authored by Adrian Clark and Jeremy Dronfield, and ICA Fox Reading Room exhibition FB55, an archival display relating to Francis Bacon’s first institutional solo show, held at the ICA in 1955 and organised with the help of Peter Watson.
