Baselitz Manifeste Solo Exhibition at the Rupertinum in Salzburg
Art enthusiasts visiting Salzburg can look forward to a prominent showcase dedicated to the influential artist Georg Baselitz. Hosted at the Rupertinum, the solo exhibition titled Baselitz Manifeste runs from 3 July through 4 October 2026. This comprehensive presentation honors the artist's milestone birthday by bringing together a focused selection of early graphic works that examine German history, identity, and the creator's ego.
Exploring Early Graphic Works and Historical Context
During the early 1960s, Baselitz made a deliberate choice to embrace figurative art at a time when abstract styles dominated the cultural landscape. This provocative stance challenged contemporary norms and positioned him as a vital innovator in post-war art history.
Visitors to the exhibition will encounter works that merge classical pictorial traditions with a raw, unsettling visual language. For the first time, the curatorial framework of the showcase is structured around four distinct manifestos written by the artist during the 1960s. For further details regarding the presentation, visitors can consult the Museum der Moderne exhibition page.
