Big upside-down paintings, wooden sculptures hacked out with axes and chainsaws, fragments of a ruined post-war Germany, and the ghost of Edvard Munch. The confrontational art of the internationally renowned German artist Georg Baselitz contains all of this and more.
Featuring over 80 paintings, drawings and sculptures, ranging from the early 1960s to recent works, Feet First is the most extensive exhibition of Baselitz’s work ever mounted in Norway.
A central theme of this exhibition is Baselitz’s lifelong fascination with the art of Edvard Munch. In a number of images, Baselitz makes various references to Munch’s work, and credits him as a key influence in the development of modern German art. Despite the heaviness of his subject matter, Baselitz approaches Munch and other works from art history with a playful spirit.
Join us for an evening of celebrations!
