It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

I am very grateful to the Tate's Auerbach retrospective a few years ago which gave rewarding insight into an important artist who I had previously hardly known at all.Comment

How odd, I just registered (after being a BAL haunter on and off for years) and while looking at the other parts of the site I saw this. It is sad first post. I became aware of Auerbach in the late 70’s via a few essays in books written by the art critic Peter Fuller. Happily he lived a long life, he was quite a painter, and as a former painter, I was always a little envious (of Auerbach and several other accomplished gestural impasto painters). I had the pleasure of seeing his work at Marlborough (in NYC) over the years.

Pardon me if someone has posted this already, but I found Frank Auerbach's interview with John Wilson for BBC Radio 4's 'This Cultural Life' absolutely fascinating.
