Unseen 'black eye' Lucian Freud self-portrait on sale, The Independent reports
A newly discovered self-portrait of Britain’s most famous – and bankable – living artist (Lucian Freud ) is going on sale next month which shows the artist sporting a black eye. Legend has it that the notoriously reclusive painter, widely considered to be Britain’s best living artist, decided to use his run-in with an angry taxi driver to compose an unusual self-portrait rather than wallow over an altercation that left him noticeably worse off than his adversary.

Lucien Freud é o artista vivo caro do mundo
Um imenso nú pintado por Lucien Freud atingiu esta semana o preço mais elevado de sempre para uma obra de um artista em vida. Benefits Supervisor Sleeping de 1995, foi vendido pela Christie's em Nova York por 33,6 milhões de dólares, ultrapassando o valor pago pelo luxuoso coração rosa de Jeff Koons - Hanging Heart - que em Novembro passado tinha sido transacionado por 23,5 milhões. Benefits Supervisor Sleeping is a mighty thing, in every possible sense. Abundantly, gloriously fleshy ... a adjectivação foi feita pelo Guardian há um mês atrás, prevendo este novo recorde.
