Georg Baselitz
This anthology brings together over 25 pieces of writing by, and interviews with, the German painter, Georg Baselitz. Known for his rebellious approach to Abstract Expressionism, here Baselitz's discusses the impression his paintings convey, the act of painting, his biography and much more. The artist's own writings cover topics as varied as his first trip abroad to other painters that he considers to be great. The texts shift between these personal pieces - most of which have never been published before - to interviews with Baselitz and a variety of critics and art historians. These conversations present a different voice as he responds to careful and critical questions about his work. Many of the writings and interviews are available in English for the first time. A unique perspective on Georg Baselitz, this collection offers a personal insight on the artist and his relationship to painting.
Georg Baselitz
Georg Baselitz paints violent and distinctive imagery that is reminiscent stylistically of both German and American Expressionism. To the public he is the painter of upside-down pictures. This extensively illustrated book-which reproduces all the major works from Baselitz's distinguished career-explores his development, revealing an artist whose concerns are derived from his experiences of post-war German society. Essays deal with the philosophical preoccupations of the period and place the artist in the context of late twentieth-century art. The book also examines why the artist paints upside down and the importance of this to our understanding of his art. Baselitz is an artist who has rarely commented about his work. This volume presents for the first time his thoughts about his art and the context within which it is made.

Georg Baselitz
I don't want to create a monster, I want to make something which is new, exceptional, something that only I do...something that references tradition, but is still new.--Georg Baselitz. Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings and sculpture by Georg Baselitz. Baselitz's challenging career is a constant process of counterpoint, marked by intense periods of creative activity culminating in a masterpiece or group of master works, followed by a startling renewal and rethinking of the subject. A traditional artisan, he produces paintings, drawings, prints, and wood sculptures, often on a monumental scale. Baselitz has consistently explored what it is to be German and a German artist, although his oeuvre owes as much to a broader range of influences, including Art brut and the drawings and writings of Antonin Artaud, sixteenth century German woodcuts, and African sculptures."

Georg Baselitz
Georg Baselitz's various creative phases are exemplified by 31 of his masterpieces that are held within the Bavarian State Painting Collections. The volume analyses for the first time these important paintings and sculptures within the context of the history of the collection, which has been shaped not only by the artist's outstanding supporters and collectors, including Duke Franz von Bayern, but also by the passionate commitment of the directors and curators of the museum. In 1972, when Tern became the first work by Georg Baselitz to enter the Bavarian State Painting Collections, a first step was made towards building an epochal collection of the artist's paintings and sculptures. Today, 47 years later, the museum is dedicating the present extensive publication to this main focus within its holdings, which has been built up over the past decades. It spotlights one of the pinnacles of its collection of art after 1945, whose outstanding profile in the international museum landscape is also characterised by unique holdings of works by Joseph Beuys, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke, Arnulf Rainer and Fred Sandback.
