Catalogue Note
"Every great artist since the Renaissance who has lived a long time - from Titian to Poussin, from Goya and Turner to Cézanne and then on to Picasso and Munch - has had to find ways to deal with the need for constant reinvention. After a career of almost 50 years, Baselitz still has the capacity to shock and behave unexpectedly, as he succeeds in being both out of his time and profoundly of it. For me, he is the greatest painter of our day still working in the great European tradition." - Norman Rosenthal ("Upside Down World," The Guardian, September 21, 2007)
