Published to accompany a significant exhibition at the British Museum, Germany Divided: Baselitz and his generation showcases a selection of key works from six artists who re-defined art in Germany in the second half of the twentieth century; Georg Baselitz, Marcus L pertz, Blinky Palermo, A.R. The majority of the works are published here for the first time.In-depth biographical essays on each artist show how the division of Germany into separate states affected their work; and the importance of the experience of migration from East to West. Penck, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter.
Artists on both side of the wall were faced with the difficult emotional task of negotiating with the past; not only the recent history of the Third Reich, but the 'lost' traditions of German painting, The new consumer culture in the West contrasted starkly with the planned economy of the East.
