A retrospective exhibition of the work of Lucian Freud opens at the Kunsthistoriches Museum in Vienna on 8 October. The works, selected with the help of the artist before his death in July 2011, are from throughout Freud’s artistic career – a period of almost seventy years – and will explore Freud’s interest in historical art and artists such as Dürer, Holbein, Titian and Velasquez, amongst others. Lucian Freud: In Private, an exhibition of photographs of Freud in his studio taken by David Dawson, will run concurrently at the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna, and includes images of the artist at work which have never been shown before.
