‘I thought – and still think – he is our greatest living painter.’ David Landau, businessman, art #historian and #arts #patron, first met Frank #Auerbach in 1983, whilst selecting an #artist to commission for a #portrait of Lord Asa Briggs, the historian, for Worcester College, #Oxford. However, in the end, Landau instead offered himself as a sitter. Auerbach’s response was, “Well, if you are reliable and can come on Fridays, then yes.” And so a tremendous person was born, with Landau remarking that the artist was ‘the only person, apart from my wife, who I’ve seen so consistently for so long. He has shown me how art is produced: how hard it is to achieve greatness, and how exciting it is to be there when, after 10 or 12 months, a painting is finally finished. It’s a magic moment’. This full-length portrait of Landau from 1992 is on view in our London galleries, ahead of our Modern & Post-War British Art Evening sale on Tuesday 20 November.
