William Feaver's biography of artist Lucian Freud, "Fame", was longlisted for the 2020 Baillie Gifford Prize and chosen as a Book of the Year by several publications. The book follows Freud at the height of his powers, painting iconic works and pursuing perfection while dealing with gambling debts and tailors bills. It portrays Freud as an enfant terrible, wilfully oblivious to the glitter of the world around him, and focused on painting first and last.

CRAIG BROWN
WILLIAM FEAVER, LUCIAN FREUD'S COLLABORATOR, CURATOR AND CLOSE FRIEND, KNEW THE UNKNOWABLE ARTIST BETTER THAN MOST.
OVER MANY YEARS, FREUD NARRATED TO HIM THE STORY OF HIS LIFE, ‘OUR NOVEL. FAME FOLLOWS FREUD AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS POWERS, PAINTING THE MOST ICONIC WORKS OF HIS CAREER IN A CONSTANT PURSUIT OF PERFECTION, JUST OUTRUNNING HIS GAMBLING DEBTS AND TAILORS BILLS.
WHETHER TATTOOING SWALLOWS AT THE BASE OF KATE MOSS'S BACK OR EXACTING A STRANGE REVENGE ON JERRY HALL AND MICK JAGGER, FREUD'S ADVENTURES WERE ALWAYS PERFECTLY CHARACTERISTIC.
AN ENfant TERRIBLE TILL THE END, EVEN AS HE WAS COMMISSIONED TO PAINT THE QUEEN, WHAT EMERGES IS AN ARTIST WILFULLY OBSCURED TO THE GLITTER OF THE WORLD AROUND – AND FOCUSED INSTEAD ON PAINTING FIRST AND LAST.
