Georg Baselitz. Gift

Exhibition June 7, 2019 − December 31, 2021
Exhibition "Present"is an expression of continuous communication for decades by internationally recognized German artist Georg Baselitz and the Pinakothek of modernity in Munich.

"Piet in kurzer Hose (Remix)" (2008) is a connection in time and style with the existing museum collection. This is a “remix” of the scandalous painting “The Big Night in the Bucket” (1962/63) and some of Baselitz’s main themes, including a discussion of collective and individual memories.

In the picture, he combines ideologically charged motifs, such as a swastika or a skull with Hitler's hairstyle, with a free transfer of the cult abstraction of Pete Mondrian.

The past and present, creative and destructive, private and public, are combined into works that are always difficult to look at.
