Georg Baselitz

This updated and expanded edition of German painter Georg Baselitz's collected writings brings together more than 30 texts by, and interviews with, the artist, spanning the period 1961 to the present. Known for his rebellious approach to Abstract Expressionism, Baselitz here discusses the impression his paintings convey, the act of painting, his biography and much more. The texts shift between these personal pieces – some of which have never been published before in English – to interviews conducted by a variety of respected critics and art historians. These conversations present a different voice as Baselitz responds to careful and critical questions about his work.

A unique personal perspective on Georg Baselitz, this collection offers a personal insight on the artist and his relationship to painting.

This updated, redesigned publication boasts a new introduction and plate section, as well as over 10 new texts and interviews created since the original 2010 edition, including Notes from the Field, About Bateke, Avignon, Academy Rousseau and For Elk' and conversations with Cornelius Tittel and Hartwig Fischer.
