160309: Museum der Moderne Salzburg Mönchsberg: Georg Baselitz - Paintings and Sculptures 1960

Museum der Moderne Salzburg Mönchsberg: Georg Baselitz - Paintings and Sculptures 1960 - 2008 Upside down, you’re turning me Recently declared dead, painting seems to again boom on the freely floating funfair of art, kitsch, and junk. A good example is Georg Baselitz, for whom the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg devoted the first retrospective in Austria since 1992. With his „upside down“ stratagem, which made him famous in the 60s, Baselitz, who was born 1938 as Hans-Georg Kern in the former GDR, has been following a blatant strategy (referred to as „methods“ by the artist). He founds the most indecorous as his personal branding. The Salzburg-retrospective includes 54 paintings and five wooden sculptures. At first his works present themselves as a colorful climate of the smelly and musty German post-war reality, with occasional excursions to art and its history. With Fragonard-like „Rapidité“, shreds of his own early and scandal history surface from the basics of painting – the white canvas – to once again withdraw themselves with a new turn. Painting as a gesture. And concept. Vice versa. Stephan Maier Museum der Moderne Salzburg Mönchsberg 5020 Salzburg, Möchnsberg 22, until 21.06.09 www.museumdermoderne.at
