He's still wonderful - even at that ripe age. A lot of younger artists can't hold a candle to him. So vibrant and wonderful colour palette. Love the animals. And there ARE some that are right side up. They also work. Well done. May you long continue! M
Thank you so much for watching and yes - some the right way up. I thought the animals and how they link back to his childhood sketch books was particularly moving.
I agree - they have such a stellar line up artists that the shows are often amazing and it is always buzzy, without being rammed. I love the vibe that it seems quite a few people have come in off the street to see some art.
well I am on the side of promoting all those great artist in their 70s plus whilst we can still enjoy their process. I am 77 years old, contemporar pop artist!. I feel as though I am just beginning! many thanks for a great vlog, look forward to the next. greetings from Mallorca
don't know a lot about Baselitz. presumably he paints the figures upside down otherwise he wouldn't achieve his loose scribbly style (which I do love and is more difficult to achieve than one would think) if he painted them upright and turned the canvas around? ultimately, they work
He painted them upside down as opposed to just hanging them upside down, which is interesting in itself. The drawings were really powerful - almost blood splattered in feel. Thank you, as always, for watching.
Folks who don’t like this because they think it’s easy to do know fark all about painting frankly. I LOVE these pieces: absolute mastery of his process and materials, gorgeously nuanced concords of colour and the difficult production of beauty with unnatural proportions. And the draughtsman shit really shines in pieces like Blue eyed deer. The worst I can say about these is that they’re on predictable conceptual ground, but who cares when the actual work is so lush,honest and elegant. Horrible soundtrack though my man.
Thanks for watching and for your comments - really interesting as he is an artist I have only engaged with briefly. I have started saying, with the soundtrack, please put your own music on! I would have definitely put on Bowie (a fan) if it wasn't for copyright.
Sorry about the music - I try to get it right but, from a couple of comments, clearly have not in this case. I would love to have put some Bowie on! I am glad you enjoyed the new works.

Ah - Joseph Beuys stands alone! I don't put him in the same category because his art is so different to the three I mentioned but, rest assured, the vlog loves Beuys and can't wait to cover him next time his work hits London.

One of my absolute favourite galleries in London 😍 seen so many great shows over the years!

That sounds amazing. Is there anywhere online we can view your work. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Excellent video and incisive commentary as usual dude.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching.
great vids…you have a great personality. could there be some titles/mediums/sizes just reference. thanks
Thank you for watching. I will try to put in when covering new works because I know that is useful.

He doesn't live far from my art-gallery = far enough, thank God. How does one spell SCHEISSE in English!?
Ouch!

I did enjoy the new work... after I turned the volume all the down on the horrible music you choose to score the video with.

Ну я не в восторге. Спасибо за работу!
Thank you for watching!
More upside down gimmick
Quite a few feel the same - I feel these later works are a bit more than that but certainly an artist that splits opinion.
Shame on you: Over all is Josef Beuys. He alone is the King of German Art after 1945.
