This publication documents the works presented in Georg Baselitz’s major exhibition at White Cube Bermondsey, London (April – July 2016), which brought together the artist’s large-scale portraiture and his reflective process of ‘remixing’.

An essay by art historian Catherine Lampert navigates the artist’s interest in self-interpretation and revision which pays homage to numerous artists of the 20th century. With a focus on Baselitz’s ‘Bill’ paintings (2013), critic and scholar Richard Shiff explores the compositional inversions and mathematical analogies that visualise the artist’s abstract and representational work.

Designed by (Studio) Jonathan Hares, this publication features comprehensive reproductions of the artist’s paintings and works on paper, each body of work reproduced on contrasting paper stocks. Following the form of previous volumes on the artist, this publication serves as a recent edition to a collectible series of exhibition catalogues.
