Frank Auerbach, a renowned British-German figurative painter and child refugee from Nazi Germany, has passed away at the age of 93. Auerbach fled Berlin in 1939 through the Kindertransport program, while his parents tragically perished in Auschwitz. Known for his dense and expressive portraits and street scenes, Auerbach worked in the same Camden studio for over 50 years, developing a unique style of thickly layered paint. His works, including 'Mornington Crescent' and 'Head of Gerda Boehm', have fetched millions at auction. Throughout his career, he was associated with the School of London and was admired by figures such as David Bowie. Auerbach's legacy as one of the greatest painters of his era is secured, with his contributions continuing to influence future generations.
