[Re]curated: Lucian Freud - The Artist’s Eye (1987) | National Gallery

Step back in time to 1987 and experience ‘The Artist’s Eye’ - an exhibition at the National Gallery personally curated by artist Lucian Freud - through a virtual recreation.
Join curator Daniel F. Herrmann and researcher Isaac Nugent as they virtually tour the exhibition, examining Freud’s intriguing painting choices and unravelling the story behind the exhibition.
Held at the National Gallery in the summer of 1987, ‘The Artist’s Eye’ invited Freud - one of the most fascinating artists of the 20th century - to handpick masterpieces from the Gallery’s collection for display alongside works of his own.
[Re]curated is a new series of virtual exhibition recreations and films from the National Gallery exploring how digital tools can help us unveil exhibitions from the past, for both research and enjoyment.
This film was made in collaboration with Mind The Film.

Is there an original brochure reproduced available. Is there a list of the chosen paintings? Who is the girl in the white dress with black flats painted by at 9:10? 9:11

[@kelleycavan6911]

I would also love to own the painting Freud would like to steal 😊

Thank you 🙏

[@samrachamin]

I would have definitely chosen a lot of the same paintings to exhibit, but to exhibit side by side with Velazques ,Ruben's, Ingres, what a dream...

[@nationalgallery]

A dream indeed!

The background noise is very distracting and unnecessary
