A recurring motif in Auerbach's work is the chimney attached to the former Carreras cigarette factory, a striking Art Deco building in Camden Town, which he has been painting since 1986. Located at the back of the building, it looms over Mornington Crescent, as seen in the two drawings on the left, but here it is seen from below rising vertiginously into the sky.
