Robert Longo
1953
The Freud Cycle. 2004.
13 Pigment prints.
9 sheets signed, dated, and numbered. 4 sheets monogrammed and numbered. From an edition of 30 copies. On laid paper. Up to: 164.5 x 102 cm (64.7 x 40.1 in). Sheet up to: 169 x 107 cm (66,5 x 42,1 in).
Some prints in two parts. Printed by David Adamson, Washington, D.C. Published by Edition Schellmann, Munich/New York, and Harry Jancovici Editions, Paris. Not unframed for cataloging. [KA].
• Powerful and suspenseful depiction of Sigmund Freud’s interior.
• 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: Private collection, Southern Germany.
"I always think that drawing is a sculptural process and feel like I'm carving the image out rather than painting it."
