Georg Baselitz
Dix besucht Goya
2008.
Oil on canvas.
Signed, dated "November 2008" and titled on the reverse. 300 x 250 cm (118.1 x 98.4 in).
In the present work, Baselitz references the extreme depiction of physicality in Otto Dix`s painting "Mädchen vor dem Spiegel" (1921), which was destroyed in World War II. [JS].
• Monumental homage to Otto Dix, and one of the largest Baselitz paintings on the international auction market.
• A continuation of the famous “Hero Paintings” of the 1960s: In a free painterly style, Baselitz confronts us with the physicality of a vulnerable anti-heroine scarred by life.
• Powerful depiction of the fragility and transience of our human existence.
• Other works from this important work complex are at the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen, and the Sprengel Museum, Hanover.
• Major survey shows have recently been presented by the Fondation Beyeler, Basel (2018), the Centre Pompidou, Paris (2021/22), the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (2023) and currently at the White Cube, London
