Biographies Frank Auerbach
BIOGRAPHIES FRANK AUERBACH (B. 1931) Frank Auerbach is one of Britain’s foremost post-War painters. Born in Berlin in 1931, he came to Britain in 1939, just before his eighth birthday, as a refugee from Nazi Germany. After attending Bunce Court School in Kent, he moved to London in 1947, where he has lived and worked since. He rarely paints elsewhere and describes London as his world: “I’ve been wandering around these streets for so long that I’ve become attached to them and as fond of them as people are to their pets.” Auerbach was taught by David Bomberg at the Borough Polytechnic, which he continued to attend whilst also studying at St Martin’s School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. During this time he became friends with Leon Kossoff; their work has often been compared. In 1954 he occupied a studio in Camden Town which had previously been used by Kossoff, and he has been based there ever since. Auerbach has received many honours. In 1986 he was selected for the British Pavilion at the XLII Venice Biennale, winning the Golden Lion Prize along with Sigmar Polke; in 2015, Tate Britain held a major retrospective, featuring work from the 1950s to the present day. Catherine Lampert, curator and selector of the exhibition, has had a long working relationship with Auerbach, and has sat for him in his studio every week for 37 years. ALEXANDER AUGUSTUS (B. 1988) Alexander Augustus is part of a new generation of artists who create spectacular installation works that are comprised of meticulously made elements, using classic methods: bronze- casting, painting, woodblock, textiles, metalwork, and theatre. -
London Calling: Bacon, Freud, Kossoff, Andrews, Auerbach, and Kitaj
NEWS FROM THE GETTY news.getty.edu | [email protected] DATE: May 6, 2016 MEDIA CONTACT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Amy Hood Getty Communications (310) 440-6427 [email protected] J. PAUL GETTY MUSEUM PRESENTS LONDON CALLING: BACON, FREUD, KOSSOFF, ANDREWS, AUERBACH, AND KITAJ London Calling is the first major U.S. exhibition of these “School of London” artists July 26 – November 13 2016 at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center LOS ANGELES — From the 1940s through the 1980s, a prominent group of London- based artists developed new styles and approaches to depicting the human figure and the landscape. These painters resisted the abstraction, minimalism, and conceptualism that dominated contemporary art at the time, instead focusing on depicting contemporary life through innovative figurative works. On view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from July 26 to November 13, 2016, London Calling: Bacon, Freud, Kossoff, Andrews, Auerbach, and Kitaj represents the first major American museum exhibition to explore the leaders of this movement, often called the “School of London,” as central to a richer and more complex understanding of 20th century painting. The exhibition includes 80 paintings, drawings, and prints by Francis Leigh Bowery, 1991. Lucian Freud (British, born Germany, Bacon, Lucian Freud, Leon Kossoff, Michael 1922 - 2011).

KITAJ, ORIGINATOR OF THE SCHOOL OF LONDON, TO BE SOLD AT CHRISTIE’S LONDON IN FEBRUARY 2008 ‘Of course it’s good fun to play the rebel—I’ve often said that I feel like I’m some well-paid misfit trudging down the Zeitgeist road and meeting all the art troops marching in the opposite direction (some of whom even wave genially to me)’ R.B.

Kitaj: Thursday 7 February 2008 at 1pm Christie’s London London – On 7 February 2008, Christie’s will pay tribute to R.B.

The Jeremy Lancaster Collection to Highlight Christie’S Frieze Week
PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 29 JULY 2 0 1 9 THE JEREMY LANCASTER COLLECTION TO HIGHLIGHT CHRISTIE’S FRIEZE WEEK DEDICATED EVENING AUCTION ON 1 OCTOBER 2019 Philip Guston, Language I, 1973, estimate: £1,500,000-2,000,000 London – Christie’s Frieze Week programme will be launched with a dedicated auction of the remarkable private collection of Jeremy Lancaster on 1 October 2019. A chorus of vivid colour, radical form and brilliant innovation, the collection showcases some of the greatest achievements in post-war British painting, complemented by a stellar selection of European and American works. Many of the works were acquired through the gallery of Leslie Waddington, and a number have passed through notable collections such as Herbert Read, E. J. Power and Charles Saatchi. Such distinguished provenance is testament not only to a shared championship of the post-war British art scene, but also to the exchange with the European and American avant-gardes in which Waddington and his clients played such a vital role. Several of the works have been on long-term loan to museum collections and Jeremy Lancaster was a trustee at Birmingham’s Ikon Gallery of contemporary art and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. A frequent traveller with a keen appetite for art and knowledge, Jeremy Lancaster was in part influenced by the seminal exhibition ‘A New Spirit in Painting’. Undoubtedly a profound moment in the landscape of contemporary art it was staged by London’s Royal Academy of Arts in 1981. The direction of his collecting taste follows a similar dedication to transatlantic discourse in paintings from Frank Auerbach and Howard Hodgkin to Philip Guston, Robert Ryman and Josef Albers. -
