• Rare complete portfolio of the “Freud Cycle”: to date, only one other copy has been offered on the international auction market (source: Artprice.com).
Robert Longo translates the setting of Freud’s former Vienna apartment into his characteristic, deep-black, hyperrealistic visual language.
• Created following the “Freud Drawings” (2000–2002), a central group of works in the artist’s oeuvre.
• Last year alone, Longo was honored with three major solo museum exhibitions (Albertina Museum, Vienna; Milwaukee Art Museum, Wisconsin; and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark)
.

PROVENANCE: Schellmann Art Archive.

"I always think that drawing is a sculptural process and feel like I'm carving the image out rather than painting it."
