This is a very fine example of Frank Auerbach’s signature thick black lines and the furious mark-making he employs in his drawing and printmaking, to give his work an energetic quality. He holds a deep reverence for the ‘magic’ of printmaking, particularly etching and dry point, to reveal the essential qualities he seeks to express through his very personal vision and experience, by means of repetition and limitation of the people he knows well. This is a numbered edition from a limited edition of 40, signed and dated, is in excellent condition and is framed.
