Marc Balakjian examining 'Donegal Man' trial proofs at Studio Prints
Lyndsey Ingram presents a major retrospective of over 50 etchings by Lucian Freud. The complete group of exceptionally fine 'B.A.T’ etchings come directly from the estate of Freud's printers Marc Balakjian and Dorothea Wight, with whom the artist worked for over twenty-five years.
The annotation 'B.A.T', meaning bon-a-tirer or ‘good to pull', marks the very first impression to come off the press that has been approved by the artist, setting the standard for the numbered edition.
Iconic images, museum pieces and intimate portraits of important sitters such as Lord Goodman, Sue Tilley and Leigh Bowery will be included.
