Press Release

Ein Bein von Manet aus Paris presents monumental paintings, intimate works on paper and a bronze sculpture created by Georg Baselitz over the course of the last year. The paintings on view represent a continuation of the now 87-year-old artist’s perpetual grapple with the conventions of portraiture, returning to the two subjects who have marked his seven decades of artistic production more than any other: himself and his wife, Elke. Working on the floor, the artist used a walking frame to navigate the canvases, turning the tangle of lines made by its wheels in the paint into a central compositional element. Demonstrating this novel mark-making technique, the new paintings bear witness to Baselitz’s unrelenting impulse to experiment.

About the Artist

A pioneering figure in post-war contemporary art, Georg Baselitz is known for his provocative and psychologically charged paintings, sculptures and prints that subvert artistic conventions and grapple with Germany’s fractured identity.
