Over more than six decades of painting, Georg Baselitz (1938–2026) repeatedly returned to a small number of enduring motifs. Among them was the eagle, first painted in ‘Adler (Eagle)’ (1953) and revisited in ‘Back Again’, one of the final exhibitions the artist conceived before his passing in April 2026.⁠ ⁠ 📍 ‘Georg Baselitz: Back Again’ is on view at White Cube Bermondsey until 30 August 2026.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more.⁠ ⁠ #GeorgBaselitz⁠ ⁠ Quotes by Matthew Holman matthewjholman from ‘A Never-Ending Conversation’, the exhibition essay accompanying ‘Georg Baselitz: Back Again’.⁠ ⁠ Images:⁠ 1, 2: Georg Baselitz, ‘Sigmund fliegt mit Sex im Koffer (Sigmund Flies with Sex in His Suitcase)’, 2024⁠ 3, 4: Georg Baselitz, ‘Adler (Eagle)’, 1953.
