'Georg Baselitz: The Heroes 1965-66' exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac London

BGUK_3710635 - The exhibition runs from 13 October - 18 December I was born into a destroyed order; a destroyed landscape, a destroyed people, a destroyed society. And I didn’t want to reestablish an order: I’d seen enough of so-called ‘order’. — Georg Baselitz, 1995 The exhibition brings together key works from this breakthrough series of the artist’s formative years. Widely regarded as one of the defining achievements of his early career and a landmark in post-war European painting more broadly, the series established many of the visual motifs, concepts and existential themes that would go on to shape the trajectory of the artist’s practice. With loans from major collections, including Tate, Berlinische Galerie, Museum Frieder Burda and Museum Küppersmühle Duisburg, as well as the artist’s family holdings and private collections, The Heroes is the first exhibition of this body of work in the UK.
