Lucian Freud’s achievements as a draughtsman and a printmaker have been consistently overshadowed by his phenomenal success as one of the most popular living British painters. This exhibition was an attempt to redress this balance by highlighting Freud’s works on paper not only in terms of their dialogue with his painting but also as fully-fledged works in their own right. The exhibition includes 33 prints and 50 drawings dating between 1940 and 1987.

Exhibition held at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, and then at five other venues.
