Georg Baselitz: "What if...," Gagosian, San Francisco, March 12-May 2, 2020. Artwork © Georg Baselitz; video: Emma Charles; narration: Richard Calvocoressi - บันเทิง
Wonderful, light, vibrant. I love Baselitz' unique brush strokes and how he decomposes his old paintings from the 80s. Stunning!
These are prints, the painting is discarded while the print is kept. This is an example of how the indirect, and the transfer and transformation of information is crucial in so much of contemporary art; if these were acknowledged as a prints it could to expanse the understanding of the place of printmaking, its versatility and ambiguity, in contemporary art. I also personally find the tension between subject and object, action and passivity much more interesting when I think of these as prints, the evidence the painterly history and nature of them is not lost with this contextualization in my mind.
If the artist is making the choice of identifying these as paintings, then that should be addressed of course
I love how the narrator breathlessly describes his process of transferring paint from one canvas to another like he invented it. Whereas It's a timeworn trick used by many painters before him.
I like these paintings=but come on let's call' um monoprints. I was watching this other thing about Franz Klein the other day and the curator was saying "it's not just black strokes--- the artist has also gone back afterward and USED WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
Baselitz and Kiefer should collab
Why does Gagosian hate Miami?
How I miss the early GB. These aren't complete failures, but they have no emotional heft and are bereft of imaginative power - which is what he intends. His desire to depersonalize his art might be fulfilled, but he still has a signature style and thus wants to be marketable. The paradox/contradiction/irony of making art under capitalism.
Baseliz? 🤣
I come up with 10 better ideas on how paint before lunch!
I don't see the attraction to these paintings
This guys color use is off. Or he doesn’t have a sense of color. I didn’t like even one of his works.
oooh I have an idea! let's make the paintings more 'artistic' by hanging it upside down! add a little bit more 'artisticness' Make it more edgier.
So, ya don't like it? Fair enough. Not sure it's my exact flavor in contemporary art. But that doesn't minimize the art, my opinion is valid for me and says nothing about the artwork.
never got the upside down gimmick... so you paint it upside down, or you don't... then you hang it upside down, um, ....so what?... nothing worse, it's fucking upside down!!
Schande !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are homeless people and we’re worried about this? 🤢
Comment is off the mark. To say anyone is 'worried' about this is a complete non-sequitur. Art is subjective and you can either appreciate it or not. As far ass the tragic ills of society are concerned one has nothing to do with the other. I don't stop appreciating movies because we have global warming. Just say it's not your thing and move on.
You had the patience of Job replying to this comment,lol.@@5deadlydaisies
