Self Portrait

Frank Auerbach, 1994–2001

© The Artist courtesy of Marlborough Fine Art

This energetic self-portrait is one of only five known to be in existence in 2002. It is made up of many drawings, the result of countless sittings and rubbings out. Not only does the drawing capture a likeness, but it records the vigorous movement of the artist at work on a drawing.
