Tweaked Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Baselitz: Six Decades "Baselitz: Six Decades is the first major US retrospective in more than twenty years of one of Germany’s greatest living artists, marking the artist’s 80th birthday. With more than 100 works highlighting every phase of Baselitz’s six-decade career from the 1950s to today, this milestone exhibition features work never before seen in the U.S. and cements Baselitz’s reputation as one of the most original and inventive figurative artists of his generation. For the first time, US audiences can experience the full scope of Baselitz’s powerful explorations of the human figure, as well as the influence of American artists on his early work and his continued impact on contemporary American painting and sculpture. Baselitz’s creative genius, combined with his message about the inherent strength of the everyday human condition, make this exhibition particularly compelling. Baselitz: Six Decades will span the Hirshhorn’s second floor galleries, and features iconic paintings, works on paper and wood and bronze sculptures from renowned private and public collections across Europe and North America."
