Georg Baselitz quotes about
exhibitions upside-down surface
I hang my work upside down to emphasize surface.
communication artist information
There is no communication with any public whatsoever. The artist can ask no question, and he makes no statement; he offers no information, and his work cannot be used. It is the end product which counts.
monsters want tradition
I dont want to create a monster; I want to make something which is new, exceptional, something that only I do...something that references tradition, but is still new.
upside-down painting suitable
An object painted upside down is suitable for painting because it is unsuitable as an object.
fresh-start painting starting
I love my old paintings as postulates as fresh starting points but I have to destroy them. I have to make a new manifesto.
