LONDON.- The Royal Academy of Arts will be holding a major retrospective of the distinguished German artist, Georg Baselitz, in September. Featuring over 60 paintings together with a significant number of his drawings, prints and sculptures, the exhibition will be a comprehensive survey of Baselitz’s work that will document a career of his most important works. These works will come from over 30 lenders, mainly in Europe, and will therefore provide a unique opportunity to consider his achievement over five decades. Baselitz, who featured in a major way in the seminal 1981 exhibition A New Spirit in Painting at the Royal Academy, which introduced his work to a British audience, is an Honorary RA. This will be his first retrospective in England since the exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1983. Lire la suite http://www.artdaily.com/section/news/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=21104
