Georg Baselitz Solo Exhibition at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich
A major solo exhibition celebrating the life and enduring impact of German artist Georg Baselitz is currently welcoming visitors. Running through November 8, 2026, the retrospective highlights more than five decades of close collaboration between the artist and the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen. For more details on the schedule, visitors can check the official exhibition page.
Tracing a Transformative Artistic Legacy
As a central figure in post-1945 European art, Baselitz helped redefine figurative painting through bold experimentation and distinct visual strategies. The collection in Munich holds 31 pieces spanning his early 1960s creations, the innovative 'Remix' series, and later works.
The retrospective follows his long-standing evolution, honoring an artist whose first solo presentation at the institution took place back in 1976. That early exhibition shifted the museum's focus toward contemporary living practices. Key pieces on display include seminal works like "The Man at the Tree" from 1969, which introduced his characteristic inversion technique—placing figures upside down as both a distinct stylistic signature and a commentary on recent history.
