Since most of these proofs have never been exhibited before, the free exhibition offers fresh insights into Freud's working practice and is a remarkable record of Freud's sustained engagement with printmaking.
Some of the proofs relate to published prints; others are impressions of prints that Freud abandoned or rejected. Many are unusually large for etchings, creating a powerful visual impact and offering further evidence of the artist's unconventional approach to the artform.
