Georg Baselitz A Focus on the 1980s

The second catalogue raisonn. on iconic German neo-expressionist painter Georg Baselitzs graphic work, Baselitz: 19831989 complements the out-of-print two-volume set released in 1983 featuring the artists woodcuts, linocuts and etchings from 1963 to 1982. Oversized for easy viewing, this long-awaited and elegantly designed publication comprises over 280 graphic works, extensively illustrated in color and completing the raisonne. of the artists graphic output. Baselitz (b. 1938) explained his keen interest in printmaking: it is the simplest fixed way to realize an artistic idea . . . made for people with little money, for common people. His recent exhibitions at the Pinakothek, Munich, and the Royal Academy of Arts, London, follow exhibitions and retrospectives of the artists paintings and prints throughout Europe and the US, including the Guggenheim, NY, and the Hirshhorn, Washington, DC. Thirty years in the making, this pivotal publication is a must-have for museums, art libraries, schools and collectors.
