CONTEMPORARY ART
Georg Baselitz

Dr Nick Gordon
Baselitz (b. 1938) grew up surrounded by the horror and destruction of WWII and has had no desire to re-establish order: “I had seen enough of so-called order.” He escaped East Germany for West Berlin in the 60s, where he rejected abstraction and became one of Germany’s most pioneering post-war artists. Upside down portraits, monumental nudes, “A good night down the drain” and bizarre sculptures await you as we follow the 82-year-old artist’s spectacular career.
