Lyndsey Ingram is delighted to present an exceptional booth of prints and works on paper for Frieze Masters 2024. This is the fifth time that the gallery has exhibited at the fair and on this occasion, the booth has been split into two distinct presentations, Heads by Frank Auerbach and Pablo Picasso and Sculptors on Paper.
Heads by Frank Auerbach and Pablo Picasso brings together two of the greatest draughtsmen of the last century. These unique works on paper and etchings, despite being made some thirty years apart, show how Picasso and latterly Auerbach have captured the essence of their chosen sitters, creating powerful portraits which are bold in form and sensitive in feeling. Auerbach has often cited his admiration for Picasso, saying in a rare interview that the Spanish artist is there with him in his studio whilst he works, alongside other masters including Michelangelo and Rembrandt.
The second part of the booth presents the two-dimensional work of three internationally renowned sculptors – Louise Bourgeois, Naum Gabo and Richard Serra. Whilst these artists are often associated with large-scale and ambitious installations, the works on display here show how they successfully translate their ideas into the print medium, creating works which are dynamic and equally as powerful as their sculptural counterparts.
