Benefits Supervisor Sleeping is a famous 1995 oil-on-canvas painting by the celebrated British figurative artist Lucian Freud. The artwork is globally renowned for its raw, hyper-realistic depiction of the human form and for breaking art market records.
Key Facts/BACKGROUND
The Sitter: The painting depicts Sue Tilley (often nicknamed "Big Sue"), who actually worked as a benefits supervisor at a London job centre.
The Subject Matter: It features Tilley lying naked and asleep on a worn, patterned sofa. At the time, she weighed roughly 127 kilograms (280 lbs).
Artistic Style: True to Freud's signature style, the painting rejects traditional, idealized concepts of beauty. It utilizes heavy, textured brushstrokes to capture the literal "fleshy rawness" and vulnerability of the human body.
Record-Breaking Sale: In May 2008, the painting was sold at a Christie's auction in New York for $33.6 million to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. At the time, this set a world record for the highest price ever paid for a work by a living artist.
