Baselitz Academy
At the Gallerie dell’Accademia di Venezia, until September 8, the exhibition
Baselitz Academy is curated by Kosme de Baranano. The major
retrospective is the first exhibition of a living artist to exhibit there, it features
a series of rarely exhibited works
that explore Georg Baselitz's
relationship with Italy and the academic tradition. Seven
rooms are dedicated to his paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures. The
show is divided into sections focusing on themes such as drawings inspired by Pontormo, the “upside-down” portraits,
and the impressive large nudes. In a radical and revelatory presentation, the
room of nudes exhibits exceptional works that have never before been seen
together.

“Georg
Baselitz is one of the most significant artists of the second half of the
twentieth century. He confronts the great theme of painting not by reducing it
to its essence but rather by attacking the convention itself. We are thrilled
to work together again. Baselitz has often visited Italy and has kept a studio
in the country for quite some time, and the exhibition will reflect how Italy
has impacted his work over the years.”

“After the success of the Philip Guston
exhibition in 2017,
we are pleased to continue the journey by presenting the work of a contemporary master, Georg Baselitz, whose work has been profoundly influenced by the encounter with the history of Italian art present at the Gallerie dell’Accademia.”
