Georg Baselitz: Collected Writings and Interviews
DescriptionThe outstanding British publisher Ridinghouse brings out the most comprehensive look into the life and work of German abstract expressionist Georg Baselitz. The book is divided into four sections: personal images; a record of Baselitz's artworks; the artist's own writings (some published for the first time, many never before translated into English); and interviews with the artist by noted writers and art historians. Known for his rebellious approach to painting, Baselitz discusses the act of painting, his biography and much more. The artist's writings cover topics from his first trip abroad to other painters he's admired. Though not a catalogue raisonne, this copiously illustrated book gives the most complete picture ever of a seminal artist.
Georg Baselitz
DescriptionThe artist Georg Baselitz has been acclaimed as one of Europe's leading artists for his bold, gestural canvases - with their upside-down figures - and has also received recognition in the United States. This volume, published on the occasion of a full retrospective exhibition organized by the Guggenheim Museum, New York, and travelling to Washington, Los Angeles and Berlin, documents every phase of the artist's career. It provides an account of Baselitz's development as a painter and sculptor, together with biographical information and detailed analyses of the major works. New translations of the artist's own writings provide additional insight into his art, and into his radical use of the figure in painting. The reproductions of his works vividly convey the raw power and dynamism which Baselitz exerts over his audiences.

Baselitz, Painter
DescriptionEver since 1963, when East Berlin's renowned art academy, Hochschule der Kunste, expelled Georg Baselitz for what's been translated as "sociopolitical immaturity," and the police confiscated work from his first solo show, he's officially been an art-world bad boy. More than 40 years into his career, he's still literally turning his subjects upside down, and he is considered one of Europe's most influential painters. This collection of more than 100 works spanning from Baselitz's earliest years to the present day offers an unparalleled overview of his oeuvre, as well as insight into the subtle changes that have come to his work as he has matured: In recent years the distinctive visual universe that grew out of the artist's study of art, myth and literature has expanded to make room for the personal, for memories of an upbringing in the German and Slavic cultural borderland, for everyday life and his family and for revisiting works by himself and others.Baselitz Georg News![]()
