About This Item
Berne: Hess Art Collection, 2003. First Edition, First Impression First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/No Jacket As Issued. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. German language text. Laminated hardcover.

Life and Work by Detlev Gretenkort. Text illustrations. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Out-of-print and scarce. Georg Baselitz (1938-) is a German painter, printmaker and sculptor. A pioneering postwar artist who rejected abstraction in favour of recognizable subject matter, deliberately employing a raw style of rendering and a heightened palette in order to convey direct emotion. Embracing the German Expressionism that had been denounced by the Nazis, Baselitz returned the human figure to a central position in painting. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed for, and insured.
