Lucian Freud: Recent Works
April 28, 2004 - May 27, 2004

On March 31st the Wallace Collection in London will open the exhibition Lucian Freud: recent paintings and etchings. It will close on April 18th. The exhibition will then continue to Acquavella Contemporary Art in New York where it will be on view from April 28th through May 27th.

The exhibition will consist of eighteen paintings and four etchings. All but one of the works has been completed since the large retrospective of Freud’s work organized by the Tate Gallery in the summer of 2002. The subjects include dogs, horses, four eggs, a solicitor, a brigadier, a tree and several children among others.

This will be the third exhibition of Freud’s work at Acquavella since the gallery began representing the artist in 1993. A catalogue will be published and available through the gallery with full-color reproductions of all the works.

Several related exhibitions will open to coincide with the exhibition in the United Kingdom. The Portrait Gallery in London will present Lucian Freud in the Studio: Photographs by David Dawson from March 30th to August 1st, 2004. On April 3rd the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art will open Lucian Freud: The Complete Graphics which will run through June 13th.
