This catalogue accompanies Georg Baselitz: Sculpture 2011-2015 presented at Serpentine South from October 2023 to January 2024 and includes newly commissioned texts by contemporary artists Alvaro Barrington, Huma Bhabha, Tracey Emin, Rashid Johnson, Jenny Saville, Erwin Wurm and Rose Wylie reflecting on Baselitz and how they connect to his work. Collectively, these contributions give insights into how Baselitz’s distinctive sculptural practice has influenced and intrigued different generations of artists working across a variety of media. Also included are new poems inspired by Baselitz’s sculptures written by Nobel Prize winning author Herta Müller and Norman Rosenthal. Additionally, Michael Baxandall and Eric Darragon provide art historical contextualisation to this body of work. Baselitz himself provides a reflection on his sculpture practice which he further elaborates on in the included interview between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Georg Baselitz

See more products by   Georg Baselitz

Georg Baselitz (b. 1938, Saxony, Germany) first came to prominence in post-war Germany as a painter. Baselitz’s expansive body of work charts his contemplations on the complexities of representing the human figure in art. Although Baselitz’s work has been met with controversy – first in the 1960s when he emerged with transgressive paintings and again in the 1980s with the advent of his sculptural practice – he has influenced generations of artists by offering a nuanced approach. His work, which is deeply rooted in his identity as a German artist, grapples with the explosion of conceptual debates around national identity, aesthetic frameworks and the human condition since the second half of the 20th Century.  

Baselitz’s recent exhibitions include Baselitz – Naked Masters at Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (2023); Georg Baselitz: Six Decades of Drawings, The Morgan Library & Museum, New York (2022); Baselitz – The retrospective, Centre Pompidou, Paris (2021); Baselitz – Academy, Gallerie dell’Accademia, Venice (2019); Georg Baselitz: Six Decades, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C. (2018); and Georg Baselitz, The Heroes,  Städel Museum, Frankfurt (2016), among many others.
