Frank Auerbach, a prominent British figurative painter and Holocaust survivor, passed away at 93. Born in Berlin, he fled Nazi Germany in his youth, losing his parents to the Holocaust. Relocating to the UK, Auerbach became renowned for his textured landscapes, characterized by thick layers of paint. Gaining international acclaim at the Venice Biennale in 1986, his work is held in major collections, yet remains less recognized abroad. His notable painting, ‘Mornington Crescent,’ sold for a record $7.1 million last year. Auerbach’s legacy endures through his impactful contributions to contemporary art.
