YOU DO OR YOU DON'T LIKE LÜPERTZ - I'm still not sure....
Jerome and Laurent often send me over photos when they are visiting an exhibition. Can I guess who it is? The latest one seemed very familiar. I thought it was Baselitz but of course was not sure. Baselitz Baselitz Baselits I don’t think that they really appreciated Markus Lüpertz (born in 1941…) and I can understand why. There is something very heavy about his work, monumental in many cases and not too easy to « relate to ». I will be quite honest, if the exhibition had traced this huge retrospective (over 100 works) starting from the beginning, I don’t know how I would have got on either. The curator had decided to start at the end of his career. This is what I came into. You may understand why I was not so sure if it was’t Baselitz. https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1293881580874583965#editor/target=post;postID=1819884230979854768;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=2;src=link.
