"I'm an artist. I don't comment on history, I am part of history."
Georg Baselitz (born Hans-Georg Kern, 1938, Deutschbaselitz, Saxony) is a pioneering painter, sculptor, and printmaker, renowned his bold inversion of subjects in his paintings, a radical practice he introduced in 1969 to challenge narrative conventions and emphasize the act of painting. Emerging in the 1960s with provocative, expressive works that grappled with postwar trauma, he has profoundly shaped contemporary German art. Baselitz’s innovations span painting, sculpture, and printmaking, merging abstraction with figuration. His work has been honored in major retrospectives worldwide and holds a prominent place in leading museum collections.
