Frank Auerbach (b 1931,

Berlin) has made some of the

most resonant and inventive

paintings in recent times, both

of people and of the urban

landscapes near his studio in

Camden Town.

Encompassing around 70

paintings and drawings, the first

six rooms of the exhibition have

been sparsely arranged, decade

by decade, working closely with

the artist. The works in the last

two rooms have been selected in

consultation with the art historian

Catherine Lampert (who has sat

for Auerbach since 1978) and they

will comprise clusters of work with

similar subjects or structures, each

piece resolved in a wholly fresh

and physical way.
