This is the most comprehensive monograph to date on the Frank Auerbach (b. 1931), one of the preeminent artists of our age, widely admired for his vivid, impulsive 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 s depictions of people and the urban landscapes near his London studio 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 bringing it up to date. In the back of the book there are small-scale chronological sequencing of full-colour reproductions, which depict 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.

The quality of the plates in this Revised and expanded edition of the original monograph by William Feaver,is in a class of it’s own. You are able to see every brush stroke,and every little detail, which is important when it comes to Auerbach’s art. This is the most comprehensive overview of Frank Auerbeck,and I can’t find a single thing to criticize. It’s as good as it gets,when it comes to Artist Monographs,and I have waited patiently for it’s to be published. I love Frank Auerbeck,but I have no need for any other books, because this is art book perfection. This expanded edition ads 250 works,not found in the original,so here you’ll find moore than 1200 works,many never before published. It’s just an amazing and inspiring “painters” book! Highly recommended,even if you like me,had the original. Great addition to your collection. It’s found it’s place on the top shelf, where I keep my most beloved art books.

Fantastic! If you like Auerbach you must have this book; if you don’t yet know Auerbach you must have this book. It is beautifully put together by a man who knows and understands the artist well and is profusely illustrated with well over a thousand illustrations of his work from 1950 to 2021 plus a single picture from 2022, just months before publication. Both informational and inspirational, I can’t recommend it too strongly (as you’ll have gathered).
