Lot 86 | Georg Baselitz (1938 Kamenz)
Georg Baselitz (1938 Kamenz)
Ohne Titel (Kopf), Kohlestift auf Papier, 60 cm x 49 cm Blattmaß, signiert, G. VII. 92 datiert, montiert, Provenienz: Pace Gallery 1992; Galerie Springer & Winkler, Frankfurt; Sotheby's London 23.6.2005, Lot 290; Hauswedell & Nolte 4.12.2010, Los 617.

Georg Baselitz ist ein deutscher Künstler, der sich wie kein anderer in der "dämonischen Expressivität, vor allem in der visionären Verzerrung der menschlichen Gestalt" artikuliert. Es scheint dem Künstler dabei aber nicht um die dramatische Erzählung zu gehen sondern um die gestische Malerei, die selbst als solche stehen soll. So wird auch hier in der auf das Jahr 1992 datierten Kohlezeichnung in dem wilden Wust aus Linienführungen ein Gesicht erkennbar. Anders in der Zeichnung, die auf 1983 datiert ist. Hier sitzt eine Person mit einem Adler am Tisch, beide in eindeutiger Linienführung, aus der Hand des Künstlers, gehalten. Der Kopf des Mannes auf die Hände gestützt, der Adler auf dem Tisch sitzend, als ob sie mitten in einer Konversation wären. Seit 1966 werden die Sujets durch Schnitte fragmentiert und ab 1969 auf den Kopf gestellt, wodurch Baselitz die Blickrichtung weg von der Bildmotivik und hin auf die Malweise mit Nachdruck akzentuiert. Es geht um das "anders sehen", um den "anderen Blickwinkel", die "andere Perspektive". Neben Malerei, Zeichnungen, Holzschnitten und Grafik entstehen seit 1980 auch expressive, roh behauene und mit Farbakzenten versehene Holzskulpturen, wie in zahlreichen Museen ausgestellt.




Georg Baselitz (1938 Kamenz)
Untitled, charcoal pencil on paper, 59 cm x 49 cm sheet dimension, signed, dated 6 VII. 92, mounted.

Georg Baselitz is a German artist who articulates himself like no other in the ''demonic expressivity, above all in the visionary distortion of the human figure''. However, the artist does not seem to be concerned with dramatic narration but with gestural painting, which is itself intended to stand as such. In the charcoal drawing dated 1992, a face is recognisable in the wild jumble of lines. The drawing dated 1983 is different. Here a person is sitting at the table with an eagle, both held here in clear lines, from the artist's hand. The man's head resting on his hands, the eagle sitting on the table, as if they were in the middle of a conversation. Since 1966, the subjects have been fragmented by cuts and, from 1969 onwards, turned upside down, whereby Baselitz emphatically accentuates the direction of vision away from the pictorial motif and towards the manner of painting. It is about ''seeing differently'', about the ''other point of view'', the ''other perspective''. In addition to paintings, drawings, woodcuts and graphic art, Baselitz has also been creating expressive, rough-hewn wooden sculptures with colour accents since 1980, as exhibited in numerous museums.
