The exhibition "Georg Baselitz" is the first retrospective of the internationally renowned German artist in Paris.
Under the direction of Bernard Blistène and with the help of Georg Baselitz, it brings together, chronologically, the artist's most significant works: from the first paintings and the Pandemonium manifesto in the early 1960s to the Heroes series, fractured compositions with inverted motifs from 1969 onwards, through successive groups of works in which the artist masterfully experiments with new painting techniques. The masterpieces of the last six years also have a special place in the exhibition.
Through numerous writings and conferences, Georg Baselitz has renewed throughout his career the writing of manifestos in art, offering precious testimonies on his inspirations, and thus participating in the creation of his own myth.
The exhibition catalogue includes: a long interview with the artist, a previously unpublished essay by Philippe Lançon, a journalist from Charlie Hebdo, winner of numerous awards such as the Femina in 2018, an anthology of texts, an extensive chronology and the corpus of works exhibited.
