  • Recording all of the artist’s oil paintings in four volumes with detailed entries, new photography, and accompanying essays

    This Lucian Freud catalogue raisonné is the first attempt to comprehensively catalogue the artist’s oil paintings.More than 500 works in the publication 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 commentaries. 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 essays by three distinguished contributors, the critic and Freud specialist Sebastian Smee, the National Portrait Gallery research fellow Jacob Simon, and the 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 this catalogue raisonné indispensable for research.
