Thaddaeus Ropac presents 'Per Mano,' an exhibition celebrating the prodigious late work of Georg Baselitz through two series of monotype paintings: the 'Schatten' (2020) and 'Darkness Goldness' (2019) series. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist before his passing in April 2026, the exhibition explores themes of mortality, transience, and the artist's legacy.
Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul presents 'Per Mano,' a significant exhibition conceived in collaboration with Georg Baselitz. The show features two major series of monotype paintings—'Schatten' (2020) and 'Darkness Goldness' (2019)—which encapsulate the artist's final decade of practice. These works, shown for the first time in Korea, highlight the artist's physical and intuitive process, utilizing unstretched canvas on the floor and forceful transfer techniques to create works that probe the boundaries of figuration and abstraction. The 'Schatten' (Shadow) series draws inspiration from Titian’s portraiture, incorporating the artist's signature compositional reversal—a technique he has employed since 1969 to induce a new way of seeing. The 'Darkness Goldness' series offers a poignant meditation on the transience of life, featuring monumental, spectral golden hands emerging from dark backgrounds. Together, these series serve as a testament to Baselitz’s long-standing engagement with mortality and his profound reflections on the act of painting itself.
The exhibition is presented at the Thaddaeus Ropac gallery. Visitors should check the official gallery website for current opening hours and access details prior to visiting.
