The art of Lucian Freud
British artist Lucian Freud offered a startling, "super-sized" Rubenesque variation on the classic reclining nude with his painting titled "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping." Nicknamed "Big Sue," the work captured a super-sized $33.6 million at auction at Christie's in 2008, the highest price ever paid for the work of a living artist.
