'Georg Baselitz: A life in Print' Georg Baselitz on view at the Kode Art Museum

Since the 1960s, Georg Baselitz has been turning the world upside down with his art.

Kode is presenting a retrospective exhibition to celebrate six decades of printmaking by the German artist. Featuring 245 works, it will be his most comprehensive print exhibition to date.

A Life in Print, which has been curated by Cornelius Tittel in cooperation with the Baselitz Archives, will present all of the main themes and motifs from the artist’s career, ranging from “The Heroes” of the mid-1960s through his iconic pictures of eagles to his many portraits of his wife Elke.

The exhibition will allow the viewer to decode some of his artistic references, from the Mannerist painters of the Italian Renaissance to Edvard Munch, one of Baselitz’ acknowledged heroes.
