In Focus: Georg Baselitz, ‘Die linke Hand von Rousseau’, 2019 at Frieze Seoul (Booth A20) ✨⁠
⁠
‘Die linke Hand von Rousseau’ derives from a series of seven gilt-bronze reliefs conceived in 2019 by Georg Baselitz (1938–2026), marking the artist’s return to sculpture after a six-year hiatus.⁠
⁠
Baselitz’s gilded hands function in a way that borrows from both sculpture and picture – while he asserted that they were neither. ‘It is like a coat of arms, an emblem’, Baselitz stated, ‘it is also a declaration, a declaration of nothing. A zero declaration’.⁠
⁠
The artist compared his bronze reliefs to the stencilling of hands seen in prehistoric cave paintings, to ex-votos in the shape of hands in prayer and to fingerprints in passports. In his own words, ‘it remains nothing but a hand’.⁠
⁠
👉 Visit us at Booth A20 until Saturday 5 September 2026.⁠
