Curator Lucas Haberkorn will lead a tour focused on Georg Baselitz’s late works. The tour will take visitors on a closer examination of the German artist’s later production, with the emphasis placed on works from this phase of his career.
Using the exhibition’s paintings and sculptures as its point of departure, the tour will address Baselitz’s late works, his characteristic inverted motifs, the materials he used, his visual language and the art-historical contexts of the works. Baselitz challenged ideas about what a painting can be from the 1960s onward, notably through his iconic inverted motifs, his radically expressive visual language and his ongoing experiments with both painting and sculpture.
The paintings and sculptures show how, right through his final years, Baselitz continued to investigate and renew his pictorial language.
The tour will take place in the main house, built in 1756 by Lauritz de Thurah, where the discussion will explore Baselitz’s characteristic artistic universe. It is scheduled to last approximately 60 minutes.
