Georg Baselitz - Codognato Mario; Zani Ezio

Belle Haleine

KORTE INHOUD

This volume accompanies the exhibition Belle Haleine by German artist Georg Baselitz (1938) - a leading figure in the world of contemporary art - hosted in the splendid setting of the Galleria degli Antichi in Sabbioneta (Mantua), the Ideal City founded by Vespasiano Gonzaga Colonna.

Among the works presented - chosen from among the most significant in his artistic career - are imposing sculptures, large paintings on canvas, and the ten provocative engravings collectively entitled Belle Haleine in homage to Marcel Duchamp, an artist to whom Baselitz - provocatively - often refers in his work, and first exhibited in 1963.

The volume offers a broad view of the multifaceted nature of the pioneer of neo-expressionist art, whose hallmark is to reproduce figures "upside down".
