Benefits Supervisor Sleeping

Freud\'s Benefits Supervisor Sleeping
Benefits Supervisor Sleeping, 1995

The 1995 painting “Benefits Supervisor Sleeping” by Lucian Freud a painting of Sue Tiley when she was a Jobcentre supervisor has set a new world record for the price for a work by a living artist a whooping $33.6 million (£17.2 million). I find it satisfying that the painting sold for considerably more than the £3.9 million his portrait of Kate Moss reached in 2005. Source: The BBC.
