Zwei Kühe. 1968.
Chalk drawing, on both sides.
Signed and dated in the lower right. The drawing on the reverse is also signed and dated. On off-white laid paper. 31.4 x 48.8 cm (12.3 x 19.2 in), size of sheet.
With another chalk drawing of a similar motif on the reverrse. [JS].
• From Baselitz's bold early period in the 1960s, which includes his famous “Hero” and the “Fraktur” paintings.
• Baselitz seeks to break up the subject matter with his fragmented painting style and to confuse our traditional ways of seeing as much as possible.
• The following year, Baselitz adopted his characteristic “upside-down” style.
We are grateful to the Georg Baselitz Archive, Munich, for the kind expert advice. The work is registered in the archive of the artist's works.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, South Germany.
EXHIBITION: Siegfried Gnichwitz (ed.), Kunst geht in die Farbik. Dokumentation eines Experiments, Bonn-Bad Godesberg, Wissenschaftszentrum des Stifterverbandes für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, May-June 1987, p. 128 (illustrated).
