Painter Georg Baselitz on Why He Thinks We re Living in a Quota-ocracy, and What It Takes to Be a Great Artist Today

The artist, who is now 83, was the subject of an obscenity trial in the 1960s over his painting of a young boy holding an exaggerated phallus. He later showed wooden figures appearing to give Nazi salutes at the 1980 Venice Biennale, and more recently he made comments in the press casting aspersions on the abilities of women artists. When I caught up with him, the artist was in Venice for the opening of an exhibition of new work in the majestic setting of the Museo di Palazzo Grimani. Meanwhile, in New York, he was debuting at Gagosian another new series of his inverted works the upside-down figures he’s been painting since 1969 this time featuring nylon stockings.

NEW YORK, NY .- German artist Georg Baselitz and his wife, Elke, have gifted six landmark paintings by the artist to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in honor of its 150th anniversary in 2020. The portraits, made in 1969, are among the first that Baselitz created using the radical strategy of inversion, in which the pictorial motif is literally turned upside down, enabling the artist to focus on painting s possibilities, rather than the image of the sitter in direct relationship to the viewer. The compositional and conceptual conceit of upending the figures fundamentally destabilizes the viewer s perspective, thereby thwarting our ability to firmly identify elements like narrative, content type, and artistic tradition, thus setting Basel
