Featuring more than two hundred reproductions, this richly illustrated monograph traces the arc of Georg Baselitz's extraordinary sixty-year career through his relationship with Italy and the academic tradition. It is newly published to accompany his major retrospective opening on May 8 at Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice—the first exhibition devoted to a living artist at the prestigious institution. The book features an expansive essay by exhibition curator Kosme de Barañano, a conversation with the artist and de Barañano, an introduction by Paolo Marini, and an essay by Michele Tavola. Archival photographs and illustrations highlight the artist's sources and inspirations.
