Auerbach was a painter, sculptor and etcher, he attended art classes at the Liverpool Institute followed by study at the Liverpool School of Art where he was awarded a pupil teachership.
He continued his studies in Paris and Switzerland.
In 1918 he worked with the architect James Bramwell, and as an architectural sculptor in the 1920’s.

He was a teacher at Beckenham Art School in the 1940’s, Regent Street Polytechnic and Chelsea School of Art, London until 1964 and at the Stanhope Institute,1964-68.
Auerbach’s work was illustrated in “British Sculpture”, 1944 - 46, by Eric Newton; and William Aumonier’s “Modern Architectural Sculpture”. He is an author of many books on sculpture, including “Sculpture, a history in brief”.

Essentially a Formalist, Auerbach’s style ranged widely from a Classical naturalistic approach, evidently in his drawings, to a pared down cubism in printmaking and sculpture.
