Get matched →The Griffin Catalyst Exhibition Frank Auerbach: The Charcoal Heads, features a remarkable series of hauntingly beautiful, large-scale drawings by Frank Auerbach (1931-2024), presented together for the first time at The Courtauld Gallery. Auerbach spent months on each drawing, working and reworking them during numerous sessions with his sitters, resulting in richly textured and layered works. The exhibition will also show a selection of paintings he made of the same sitters, highlighting the entwined nature of his painting and drawing practice. This unique opportunity allows visitors to see early masterpieces by one of the world’s most celebrated living artists. This event has passed.
