Frank Auerbach’s raw, expressionistic portraits and landscapes evoke intense psychological depth and atmosphere through his use of thick, almost visceral impasto. His painting process is marked by immediacy and emotional resonance, often working in a single, concentrated sitting to capture his subjects. Auerbach is known for his dedication to a small group of sitters, whom he has depicted repeatedly over many years, deepening the emotional and psychological complexity of his work. His paintings have been celebrated in major solo exhibitions at renowned institutions such as the Hayward Gallery, Kunstmuseum Bonn, Museo Reina Sofía, Museum Folkwang, Tate Britain, Yale Center for British Art, and London’s National Gallery. Commanding seven-figure sums at auction, his works are held in esteemed collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago, Astrup Fearnley Museet, British Museum, LACMA, the Met, MoMA, and London’s National Portrait Gallery.
