Georg Baselitz & Emilio Vedova
The show conceived by Baselitz embraces two series of great works on canvas (the so-called teleri), both in uncompromising black and white, and belonging to two important phases of his complex artistic journey 鈥� the 1950s/60s and the 1980s.
In accordance with Baselitz鈥檚 conception, the works are being installed in the Magazzino del Sale exhibition hall on the two long facing walls. Along the righthand one will be hung six large square works from the 1980s, a period when the Venetian maestro had returned to high-impact visually explosive paintings; on the left, a series of historic works from the late 50s/early 60s: from the Scontro di Situazioni 鈥�59-II-1 made for the Palazzo Grassi 鈥淰italita虁 nell鈥檃rte鈥� exhibition of that year, to paintings belonging to the cycles of that period: Immagine del tempo (1958) and Per la Spagna (1961). Baselitz鈥檚 choices take us straight to the heart of Emilio Vedova鈥檚 artistic experience, offering an exhibition of 鈥榚xtreme鈥� vision and radical content, which links two crucial periods in Vedova鈥檚 work, twenty years apart, demonstrating the enduring vitality of his experiments and explorations.
