[@badlarry172]

fantastic upload thanks

[@picturepicture6990]

an excellent lesson in portraiture. Auerbach is among the legends of the form

[@singlespies]

Great show! Thanks James!

[@megawatt2916]

Great work!

[@tonsfocus]

Thanks as always!

[@morganrussell6335]

Love, love, love... thank you Kate!

[@artgurrl]

Looks like a great show! Auerbach's and Per Kirkeby's paintings are works that I can sit in front of and lose myself for hours. I can't get enough of Auerbach's drawings. I agree with your take on his chunky working of materials (including charcoal) is wonderful.

Thank you James for showing another exhibition of Frank Auerbach's work. He is one of my favourite Artist, alongside Lucian Freud, who between the both of them I cannot put either above the other. They are there equal at the top, even though their works are quite different. At the start of my own history of viewing artwork and exhibitions, both of them together take up a large, strong and deep space in my heart and to catch any exhibitions of their work is a treat for me. Again Thank you James and Thank you Kate. Please also video the exhibition of Cecily Brown, an contemporary Artist who I partly thank you for introducing me to her art. There are two other Artists who I am very glad you have introduced their work to me and they are Katherine Bradford and Deborah Brown and I am forever in you debt and am grateful for your two KZbin Sites. Take care and I Look forward to more videos from you. All the best, Paul

[@jameskalm]

I visited the Cecily Brown show yesterday, and the footage is already in the can. I'll be editing it soon, stay tuned...

[@PaulLewey]

@@jameskalm Thank you James I look forward to when you show the video of Cecily Brown's exhibition. I enjoy your shows of the exhibitions around New York, even of the art I feel I will not be interested with, the way you talk and describe the pieces, you make the artwork very interesting. Thank you and Thank you to Kate too.

[@glenndockstader9327]

Love the paintings, but especially love the drawings. Thank you James and Kate

[@RussellAlderton]

thanks Kate!

[@MikeWitmerNatureJournal]

One of our greatest living painters in my opinion

[@badlarry172]

have to agree, however r.i.p. Frank 20/11/24

[@ohdandan]

brilliant

[@ValerieEllis]

Loved it, loved it, loved it. The paintings are so visceral, beautiful and punchy...and such a wonderful contrast to the clean, spare, spaciousness of the drawings. I wish you'd been able to linger longer.

[@jhb61249]

Jemma, Jemma, Jemma! Thank you. You done good. The music is very nice. Many of the street performers deserve recognition and support. Auerbach is a favorite of mine and many others. I detect Impressionism in his landscapes once he went from total earth colors. The jagged, staccato marks speak of Van Gogh. The heavy smudges of paint speak of Rembrandt - side of beef and cows painting, and other northern work. The subtle transparency speaks of many of the optic works of modernists. Then there seems to be some sharing with Lucien Freud. We all know that nothing comes from nothing and all comes from something. Auerbach was influend by other and he influenced others, but still he is a one of a kind original and never mistaken from works of others. Thanks again James and Kate.

[@alberteromero844]

Thank you for your videos!

[@alberteromero844]

Who's Kate, btw?

[@thirdrockjul2224]

Thank you Kate.

[@massimilianomarrani]

Beautiful video for beautiful paintings, extraordinary portraits ... Bacon, Freud, Giacometti, Soutine, Cezanne ... Thanks. Really instructive.

[@BrettWilson-ek9ku]

Bravo !!

[@oscargarcia1646]

😳Wow😳 Frank Auerbach! A rare Paint-head treat! Drawings 🤩too! Thank you Mr K🙌. A very humble painter, orphaned during World War II. Born in Germany & raised in England in the aftermath of a bombed out London. Great 🎨 Vlog👍. 🌹Thank you Kate🌹!

[@DavidVonRoehm]

Thank you for this!

[@iangillham9647]

Love the drawings!

[@anthonymorton3074]

still loving it Jamsie!! still clicking the like button, ten year anniversary this year. thank you Kate! would love a shout out for my buddy in Hamburg via Knysna, South Africa

[@barbarajohnson1442]

I'm going to have to wrap up in a covid suit and go to NY, just can't get quarantined!🙄😬 But so rare to see a show of Auerbach!!! I've only seen one at a time, thank you James. He reminds me a wee bit of Monticelli, (influence on Van Gogh.)

[@champagnepaci]

Awesome video, as always. What a treat to see Auerbach's work in the states, and on election night no less. So we got Biden AND Auerbach - a great night indeed. Thanks so much!

[@limkhekie5128]

So good

[@christophermcelhinney1365]

Thanks James

[@jgalcantara850]

James saw just today they are show ing 50 painting of Frank Auerbach . Can we chip in and sent you.? He is fantastic , thanks James and specially you Kate. Thank You…..🎉

[@m00nracer]

I cannot believe I missed this show! Was during the pandemic?? Frank Auerbach and my (lifelong) mentor Ray Robinson shared a studio and were friends.. I've LOVED Auerbach's work since I was 19. I've only ever seen ONE in the flesh at the Hill Foundation in Manhattan.

[@SpanimationBiz]

In each piece he pushes the needle into the red! So good!!

[@romanowskiart]

It’s awesome what you do, thx a lot, Vancouver, Bc, Canada........

[@rosssmirnoff6285]

His work is en vogue right now. I remember seeing James Kalm roughly 5 years ago looking at a painting by him with his camera @Mitchell-Innes & Nash. I will miss those days because I have moved out of NYC sadly but I logged a good ten years of gallery visits in before departing. Best to you and the report and say hi to Kate for me.

[@curiousperson6275]

Auerbach is a considerable colorist. He discovers the essence of touch and feeling through the process of painting. These slow mow paintings have a considerable quiet presence.

[@mattbray_studio]

god damn, what a show!

[@nickfanzo]

Thick paint has a lovely way of striking the nervous system.

[@fastfoodart5552]

excellent art exhibition.....

[@kevinhudak2806]

All, the way from Akron, Ohio..Love, his body of work.James, would like to meet you. Vacation will be in works too go to N.Y.

[@simonredington6212]

Great to see these paintings from a master... London School yeah! Auerbach comes from a great 20th century British painting tradition, school of David Bomberg... and certainly hung out with Bacon and Freud, drinking in London's Soho in the '50s etc... They're not so much hard won images as tortuous... but containing much brighter colours than I remember.

[@wikidub]

True fact. I used to sell paraffin to Auerbach that he used to clean his brushes with.

[@nickfanzo]

Those brushes must’ve been jam packed

[@marionlyon7349]

James Kalm I enjoy your work so much Thank you. One Question, Why are most of these paintings under glass? Aren't the oil paintings as stable as I supposed them to be?

[@jameskalm]

Thanks @Mrion Lyon. There's been a discussion on this below, it seems that some folks think it is to reduce dust. Others have chimed in that it's a reference to Francis Bacon and his use of the "glass box frame."

[@roygreen5522]

why are they under glass?

[@jameskalm]

Yes @roy green , I think that because of their thick pigment, almost to the level of sculptural, that they (the dealers and collectors) think the paintings need the extra protection of the glass, and box frames. It could also make for easier transport(?)

[@megawatt2916]

@@jameskalm Dust.

[@Ambaria]

Because showing them under the glass gives the work an aura of oldness, respectability and historical worth. Bacon needed glass because his paintings are made with big household Brushes and the surface looks not so well detailed in the bigger works. Auerbachs framing is of course a descendant of that way of displaying the works, it makes the work look slightly better and the surface too.

[@jameskalm]

@@Ambaria I'll attach a link to a smaller Auerbach show I recorded about two years ago in which most of the paintings are not under glass (?) kzbin.info/www/bejne/al7JqqKgjr5-fKc

[@Ambaria]

@@jameskalm I watched it and I have to say that gloss of oil paint and varnish looks a bit better without the glass. Maybe it is better to see that thick paint have it´s own reflections of light and shape.

[@johnlawson7306]

Too bad many of the paintings are glassed over....spoils the chunkyness!

[@Elias_Halloran]

saturated colors and depth like what dreams may come movie...RIP ROB WILLIAMS!

[@neoaureus]

How can someone use so much color and have such low luminosity ! Dirtying the palette if done by any amateur will be frowned upon....but in this case , people will take notes. Btw this is so so 1950s Asian Modern Art....
