Comprising 44 etchings from the archive of Freud’s printer Magar Balakjian, The Printer’s Proof Etchings by Lucian Freud from the Studio Prints archive is the most complete survey of the artist’s prints ever to be offered at auction. These etchings present a unique insight into Freud’s printmaking and the twenty-five year relationship with his printer that saw it flourish. This unprecedented survey of Freud’s prints is the fruit of this relationship. Every one of these etchings is the sum of countless decisions and discussions between the two.
