In 1999, Century, Bruce Barnard's pictorial history of the 20th century, won critics' plaudits and readers' favor. One reviewer called it "a stupendous photographic chronicle of a tumultuous century" and the Evening Standard adjudged it "the photographic book of the year."

This edition contains 1,090 photographs in color and duotone and has been extended to include events up to and including September 11, 2001.

Lucian Freud ist nicht nur einer der gefeiertsten zeitgenössischen Künstler, sondern auch einer der scheuesten. Regelmäßig verweigert er Fotos und Interviews. Mit dem von ihm hochgeschätzten Kunstjournalisten Sebastian Smee spricht er hier ausnahmsweise über sich und seine Arbeit. Nur zwei Fotografen durften Freud bislang in seinem Atelier ablichten: Bruce Bernard, Freuds langjähriger Freund, den er zweimal porträtierte, hat den Künstler während der Arbeit aufgenommen. Und Freuds Assistent David Dawson fotografierte den Maler während der letzten fünf Jahre regelmäßig. Es sind intensive Bilder eines großen Künstlers entstanden.
