Georg Baselitz, Bermondsey (2026)

White Cube Bermondsey presents a major exhibition of new large-scale paintings and works on paper by Georg Baselitz (b. 1938, Deutschbaselitz, Saxony, Germany). Known for his raw, expressive style and upside-down compositions, Baselitz challenges artistic conventions with provocative, fractured figures. Following his exhibition 'A Confession of My Sins' at White Cube Bermondsey in 2024, the artist revisits several central themes from his practice, presenting human and animal forms on luminous gold or sky-blue grounds alongside a new series of paintings depicting Indian deities. Also on display are portraits of the artist and his wife Elke, reflections on ageing, and the eagle – a motif reminiscent of Baselitz's youth in the Saxon countryside. The exhibition opens concurrently with 'Georg Baselitz: AVANTI!' at Museo Novecento, Florence, Italy (25 March – 13 September 2026), 'BASELITZ JETZT' at Museum der Moderne, Mönchsberg, Salzburg, Austria (1 April – 18 October 2026), 'Georg Baselitz. Eroi d'Oro' at Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venice, Italy (6 May – 27 September 2026), and 'BASELITZ MANIFESTOS' at Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Old Town (Rupertinum), Salzburg, Austria (3 July – 4 October 2026).
