Georg Baselitz: Descente

Thaddaeus Ropac Pantin presents “Descente”, a solo exhibition by the artist Georg Baselitz, featuring five groups of works that are stylistically and iconographically linked to the fragmented self-portraits known as the Avignon series, which was shown at the 2015 Venice Biennale. Two of Baselitz’s concerns were the notions of “late work” and “age”, with particular reference to the historical decision of the city of Avignon to reject the donation of a series of late works by Picasso.
