LUCIAN FREUD Obituary

FREUD--Lucian, 1922-2011, We at Acquavella Galleries are deeply saddened by the death of our close friend Lucian Freud, a great artist whose works will live on to inspire others. Although Lucian always did things his own way, our partnership for the last twenty years could not have been more fulfilling. We were proud to represent him as an artist and will miss him even more as a good friend. William Acquavella and the Acquavella Family

Lucien Freud, along with Francis Bacon (also a direct descendant of HIS famous namesake ), taught (me) the necessily uncomproming, authentic, challenging, and rebellious essence of good contemporary art, by forcing the viewer to look past "prettiness," and comforting "realism." He has left us a great bequest.

Your work is in the cream that rises to the top in the art world. I remember the first time I saw your work at the Met in NY. Rest in peace. A job well done.

Pure, uncompromising, Master Lucian Freud ~ In life, you were my favorite realist painter under the sun ~ In death, I imagine you painting the portraits of souls moved on, and one by one, them being hung on the walls of the greater halls ~ Eternally Grateful xo
