There is a strong presence of figurative work in this season’s Contemporary Art | London Auction. Artists throughout history have turned to the human figure as a source of inspiration, a narrative vehicle and even a means to flaunt their mastery of realistic depiction. From Julian Opie’s iconic simplified forms, to Tracey Emin’s emotionally charged depictions of the female nude to Tim Noble and Sue Webster’s darkly humorous sketches, these works testify to the enduring importance of figuration in contemporary art.
