Georg BaselitzMeine Schule

Baselitz’s last completed paintings and sculptures, made before his death in April 2026, including inverted self-portraits and childhood memories of wartime Germany.

Curated by Richard Calvocoressi to the artist’s own design, the show gathers Baselitz’s last paintings and two late sculptures, among them his last, Strawinsky (2026). Two paintings never shown before, Meine Schule, die Jungs and Meine Schule, die Mädchen, return to his earliest memory: pupils standing in front of a Nazi banner on the Deutschbaselitz school where his father taught.

The others picture the artist and his wife, Elke, upside down in thin black line on gold, each with a cluster of bright impasto he called “a misplaced Willem de Kooning.”
