{"product_id":"georg-baselitz","title":"Georg Baselitz","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy the time Georg Baselitz (b. 1938) came to artistic maturity in Germany in the mid1960s, he had renounced the gestural abstraction prevalent in Europe and America and developed a new aesthetic based upon the figure and its representation as an abstract image. His bold canvases  which began to feature his signature upsidedown figures later in the decade  have brought him international recognition, but only now is his important career the subject of a comprehensive survey, organized by the Guggenheim Museum and traveling to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and the Nationalgalerie, Berlin.This monograph, by Guggenheim Deputy Director and Senior Curator Diane Waldman, documents every phase of the artists career as a painter and sculptor. New translations of many of Baselitzs writings provide additional insight into his radical use of the figure in painting. A chronology, bibliography, and exhibition history are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harry N Abrams Inc","offers":[{"title":"Waldman, Diane \/ hardcover","offer_id":47834879557877,"sku":"SONG0810968851","price":57.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/714ymSt3SgL_8fa6be4b-958f-4336-9653-ac22296ba963.jpg?v=1773669324","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/georg-baselitz","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
