Praise for the 2018 two-volume edition:
'Stunning ... Sure to delight those in search of a full picture of the artist's output. – Artists & Illustrators
'There is a precision and grandeur about this new monograph ... that is all of a piece with Freud's modus operandi. ... Gayford draws on his own back catalogue and the established sources ... to weave a fluent text that is footnote-free and cautiously expansive. ... Freud steps forward into sharper focus than we have seen before. We see more of the methodology by which he achieved a genius-reputation approaching that of his famous grandfather, creating a new genre of self-projecting portraiture while keeping his secrets close.' – Times Literary Supplement
