8 JULY 2022
6.30pm – 8.00pm
Join us with Jake Auerbach for an exclusive screening of ‘FRANK’, a 56 minute Film produced and directed by Jake Auerbach Films (2015) with a question-and-answer session afterwards at Newlands House Gallery at 6:30pm on the 8th of July.
Frank Auerbach, works seven days a week and has the reputation of being something of a hermit. In the past this has only been fairly true; he saw films, went to the theatre and spent time with friends but these days he rarely leaves his small corner of North London.
So when an exhibition of his work opened in the Kunstmuseum Bonn in before travelling to Tate Britain, film maker Jake Auerbach decided to go and film the show so that his father could see how it looked… they set up a projector and filmed his responses to seeing the work after a break of anything up to 60 years.
The result is a film that unfolds an obsessive painter’s personal manifesto (citing references as diverse as Morecambe & Wise, Gauguin and Shakespeare) which is woven into the relationship between father and son.
