The Texture Mapping treatment applied to
Frank Auerbach's, Head of E.O.W. (1957–8) and Rimbaud (1976), is the third in a range of special imaging treatments on our website being supported by the New Opportunities Fund NOF-digitise programme.

This remarkable tool allows the user to reveal texture and depth to these paintings not normally visible under gallery conditions.

Note: You will need to have Adobe Flash installed to view the treatments.

Tate produced the Texture Mapping treatment in partnership with the National Gallery, employing technology pioneered by Hewlett-Packard Labs. The interface was designed by Tate. We will be working in conjunction with a range of different technologies over the coming years to pilot further exciting new ways of representing our works.
