The second part of the Lucian Freud catalogue raisonne, recording all of the artist's oil paintings in four volumes, with detailed entries, new photography, and essays
This publication is the first attempt to comprehensively catalogue the oil paintings of the artist Lucian Freud (1922-2011). Over 500 works are presented and fully catalogued by Catherine Lampert and Toby Treves, with separate entries on each work providing essential information, provenance, and history of exhibition and literature, followed by individual remarks. Lampert and Treves provide new analysis of the paintings, informed by their collaborative research and collective knowledge of Freud's oeuvre. Almost every work is reproduced in colour, including many for the first time.
The catalogue contains several essays by contributors, including the critic and Freud specialist Sebastian Smee, National Portrait Gallery research fellow Jacob Simon, and curator and art historian Colin Wiggins. A chronology of Freud's life and work, comprehensive lists of solo and group exhibitions, and a bibliography provide a full overview of Freud's career and critical responses to it, making the volumes indispensable for research.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This catalogue raisonne, with its near-faultless execution of forensic scrutiny, is the closest look we may ever get at this most controversial, and most brilliant, of post-war British painters."-Matthew Holman, Art Newspaper
