LONDON.- On 7 February 2008, Christie’s will pay tribute to R.B. Kitaj (1932-2007), a celebrated artist and the originator of the ‘School of London.’ The Collection of R.B. Kitaj comprises over 50 works from the painter’s personal collection, the majority of which were created by artists he associated with the ‘School of London’ such as Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, David Hockney and of course Kitaj himself. The works pay a moving and insightful testimony to the friendships between Kitaj and these fellow artists, many of whom are now major fixtures in the Post-War and Contemporary Art field. This highly personal collection includes rare works, some of them gifts from the artists, and many of them appear at auction for the first time including oil paintings, drawings and prints; the collection is estimated in the region of £3 million.
