William Feaver’s Frank Auerbach is the most comprehensive monograph to date on Frank Auerbach (1931–), one of the preeminent artists of our age, widely admired for his vivid depictions of the world around him. Often compared to Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud in terms of the revolutionary and powerful nature of his work, Auerbach crafts depictions of people and the urban landscapes near his London studio that make him one of the greatest painters alive today. Spanning the length of his career from the 1950s to the present, this expanded edition includes 250 additional works to bring it up to date. In the back of the book there is a small-scale chronological sequencing of full-color reproductions, which depicts nearly every painting made by the artist, from his student years up until this publication. At age 90, he looks back over his life and his work, rich with breakthroughs in painting and masterful individuality.
