Georg Baselitz
Georg Baselitz is one of the most important painters in Germany. After moving from East Germany to the West in 1957, he could not get to grips with abstraction, nor with the emerging pop art. He began to develop a distinct, expressive and simultaneously figurative style. His evocative, powerful and raw paintings made him famous in the 1970s. Baselitz had started to turn his motifs upside down at the end of the 1960s, so as to end his pictures’ dependence on reality.
Jamileh Weber and Georg Baselitz were friends. The gallerist realised multiple exhibitions of his work. The works presented here were acquired directly from the artist by Jamileh Weber.
