Georg Baselitz
n.d., from: From the Anatomy. 2004. aquatint on wove paper. 66 x 49 cm (84.3 x 65.3 cm). Signed, dated and numbered. Mounted in spots on support and framed under glass (unopened). - Apparently in very good condition. Splendid, burnished impression with clearly defined platemark and wide margins, with the scoop margin on the left.
One of only 20 copies. - Since the end of the 1960s, the reversal of the motif, the "standing on one's head", has been found in Baselitz's drawings and graphic oeuvre. The artist constantly and tirelessly explores the human body, taking it as the measure of his artistic representations. In the "From Anatomy" series, his exploration of the body is continued in the animal kingdom. Baselitz forms the horse's head in a loose, gestural style; his raw, expressive style is reflected in the quick, broad, albeit rough stroke of the aquatint.
