FRANK

The Frank Auerbach exhibition at the Tate ends this weekend - I recommend getting there before it closes its doors on Sunday. It's interestingly curated and crucially not too vast, which allows for you to get to the end of the show without feeling like a lie down.
Love this painting of London in the heat

"I'm always aware that what Frank produces are Auberbachs first and last... I'm aware of being a prompt. But what transpires and is eventually, declared to be (provisionally) done is something marvellous... These paintings give such a sense of being alive that I for one am pleased that here, whew, I'm still breathing." William Fever, 2015
