BENEFITS SUPERVISOR SLEEPING
|
BENEFITS SUPERVISOR SLEEPING  Above is the Benefits Supervisor Sleeping painted by Lucian Freud, widely acclaimed as one of the best British artists, in 1995. Do you like this painting? The painting is a portrait of Sue Tilley, a then social security benefits supervisor. Lucian Freud called her, 'Big Sue'. He described her body as "flesh without muscle", which "has developed a different kind of texture through bearing such a weight-bearing thing". The painting held the world record for the highest price paid for a painting by a living artist, of £17.2 million ($33.6 million). It was sold at Christie's in New York in May 2008 to Roman Abramovich, a mega-rich Russian and owner of Chelsea football club. Lucian Freud is rumoured to have fathered as many as forty , though only fourteen have been identified. Do you like art? If so, what type of art do you like? What art do you have in your home? What art do you have above the fireplace (or equivalent) in your lounge? What art do you have above your bed? Below is a photo of Sue Tilley posing for Lucian Freud. |

I don't think I would hang that above my bed. This is not meant to offend any one in any way.
