Let's take a closer look at Portrait of a Psyche doubled up (Auerbach) 2025 by Liliane Tomasko in Liliane Tomasko: The Psyche of the Portrait 👀 For this work, Tomasko took this singular portrait by Frank Auerbach (Head of J.Y.M, 1973) as the starting point for this piece and created two works in response. The first was an abstracted version of the original portrait, broken down into triangular shapes. The second is an even more abstracted version of that. Liliane Tomasko: The Psyche of the Portrait brings together bold new abstract works by New York-based artist Liliane Tomasko, created directly in response to four striking portraits in Sheffield’s collection. 📍 Millennium Gallery 🗓️ Open now until 12 Oct 🔗 Head to the link in bio to plan your visit 👆 Suggested donation £5 – please donate if you’re able and help keep your museums open and available for everyone to enjoy.
