Frank Auerbach in Conversation with Tim Marlow
Afternoon Event
Saturday 23 May 2015 3 - 4pm
Reynolds Room, Burlington House
£12. Concessions £6.
Friends of the RA book first
Renowned artist Frank Auerbach joins Tim Marlow, the RA’s Director of Artistic Programmes, to discuss what drives him, and why he paints every day of the year.
Tim Marlow talks to Frank Auerbach, maker of some of the most resonant and inventive paintings in recent times and one of Britain's most celebrated living artists, about his life and work. In 2001, the Royal Academy hosted a retrospective dedicated to Auerbach's paintings and drawings, and he is also one of several contemporary artists exhibited in "La Peregrina" – a personal response to Rubens and His Legacy, curated by Jenny Saville RA.
This event precedes a special display of Auerbach's paintings and drawings at Tate Britain opening this autumn, and coincides with the publication of Frank Auerbach: Speaking and Painting by Catherine Lampert (Thames & Hudson), an intimate portrait gleaned from her long friendship with Auerbach as one of his sitters and curator of three of his exhibitions.
