In the fall of 2007, a brilliant retrospective exhibition of the work of Georg Baselitz opened at London’s Royal Academy of Arts. It was curated by Norman Rosenthal, who had first exhibited paintings by Baselitz in the early 1970’s. Baselitz traveled to London to lecture at the Academy and revisits his exhibition together with Rosenthal. They discuss the work, paintings and sculptures, and the artist’s beginnings and progress. In the course of their conversations during the walk-through of this impressive exhibition, Baselitz’s post-World War II struggle to find a way to make art in a Germany that had lost the respect of the world, becomes evident. |
