Auerbach was known for his unique artistic process, often scraping off paint he was dissatisfied with, only to start again, totaling 95% of his paint in the bin.
Geoffrey Parton described Auerbach as one of the greatest painters of our age, acknowledging the profound impact of his artistry and how his voice will resonate for generations.
Having fled Nazi Germany, Auerbach's journey as a Jewish refugee shaped his identity, with significant early influences from his parents, both of whom were tragically lost.
Auerbach once expressed, 'I'm trying to find a new way to express something. So I rehearse all the other ways until I surprise myself with something I haven't previously considered.'
