Alvaro Barrington and Erwin Wurm contribute to Georg Baselitz: Sculpture 2011-2015's exhibition catalogue with newly commissioned texts The artists reflect on Baselitz and how they connect to his work

17 November 2023
Serpentine, London

Contemporary artists Alvaro Barrington, Huma Bhabha, Tracey Emin, Rashid Johnson, Jenny Saville, Erwin Wurm and Rose Wylie reflect on Baselitz and how they connect to his work. Collectively, these contributions give insights into how Baselitz’s distinctive sculptural practice has influenced and intrigued different generations of artists working across a variety of media. Included in the publication are new poems inspired by Baselitz’s sculptures written by Nobel Prize winning author Herta Müller and Norman Rosenthal. Additionally, Michael Baxandall and Eric Darragon provide art historical contextualisation to this body of work. Baselitz himself provides a reflection on his sculpture practice which he further elaborates on in the included interview between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist
