Lucian Freud's assistant and friend, David Dawson, recently joined us for an intimate talk, tour and interview regarding IMMA Collection: Freud Project 2016 - 2021. In this video, David Dawson talks about his life with Lucian Freud, starting with his first introduction and meeting, his multiple roles as assistant, friend, sitter and subject - giving specific details about their interactions, habits, working relationship, and understandings that endured for nearly twenty years until Freud's death in 2011.

About IMMA Collection: Freud Project
IMMA Collection: Freud Project features a selection of 30 of the artist’s finest paintings, and 20 works on paper. The works, mainly dating from 1970 onwards, explore several of the artist’s key themes such as Portraiture; Self Portraiture; Still-life; Animals and Nature; works that reflect his interest in the people and the natural world.

During this unique five-year project IMMA will present a series of different and exclusive Lucian Freud related exhibitions, with a new programme of events and openings each year.  All 50 works will be on display across this first year. Subsequent exhibitions will include works and new commissions by other modern and contemporary artists in response to Freud, and will reveal exciting new perspectives on this major artist today.

The works, on loan from private collections, will be presented in a dedicated Freud Centre in IMMA’s Garden Galleries for five years. With this extraordinary resource IMMA will create a centre for Freud research with a programme of special exhibitions, education partnerships, symposia and research that will maximise this important opportunity for schools, third level students, artists and audiences all over Ireland and beyond.
