Georg Baselitz, directed by Evelyn Schels Documentary screening
On the occasion of Paris Gallery Weekend, join us at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin on Saturday 24 May at 4pm for a screening of the documentary film Georg Baselitz, directed by Evelyn Schels.
Georg Baselitz shows the artist at work on paintings and sculptures in his studio, ceaselessly reinventing his methods. The documentary is a perceptive, extremely intimate and nuanced portrait of the master, whose life and work are so intimately related to 20th-century history.

Georg Baselitz
Ein Bein von Manet aus Paris
Ein Bein von Manet aus Paris is on view at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin until 26 July 2025. The exhibition presents monumental paintings, intimate works on paper and a bronze sculpture created by Georg Baselitz over the course of the last year. The paintings on view represent a continuation of the now 87-year-old artist's perpetual grapple with the conventions of portraiture, returning to the two subjects who have marked his seven decades of artistic production more than any other: himself and his wife, Elke. Working on the floor, the artist used a walking frame to navigate the canvases, turning the tangle of lines made by its wheels in the paint into a central compositional element. Demonstrating this novel mark-making technique, the new paintings bear witness to Baselitz's unrelenting impulse to experiment. On Saturdays throughout May and June, screenings of documentary films on artists represented by the gallery will be held in the exhibition.
