Lot Essay

"Recently, after many other restless shifts in style and practice, he started an intriguing new series of paintings. Their method is called remix. They are new formulations of old paintings or rather old motifs and subject-matter and all painted in a very light, casual manner, in thinly brushed paint, light and swift sometimes as watercolour. [...] Painting is now sheer, free, unhindered painting. [...] The image we then have of the artist...is one of someone who carries his life's work with him as a great treasure with other surprises to come." (R. Fuchs, "Baselitz/Katz: Memories," Georg Baselitz. Benjamin Katz: Die Richtung Stimmt, Cologne, 2007, pp. 20-21)
