Georg Baselitz (1938-2026) was born Hans-Georg Kern in what was later to become East Germany. In the 1970s, Baselitz was part of a group of Neo-Expressionist artists (“Neue Wilden”) focusing on deformation. Baselitz became famous for his upside-down images and was seen as a revolutionary painter. From a European perspective, Baselitz’s style is seen as postmodern. Baselitz was a professor at the Hochschule der Künste art academy in Berlin.
Georg Baselitz was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner.
