Georg Baselitz: Sculpture \u0026amp; Early Woodcuts presents a focused examination of two pivotal strands of his creative output — his raw, totemic sculptures carved from massive tree trunks with deliberate crudeness, and his early woodcuts, which crackle with an expressionist urgency rooted in both German Romanticism and the primal energy of art brut.\n\nPublished by the prestigious Anthony d'Offay Gallery in London, this volume offers an authoritative survey of works that sit at the core of Baselitz's artistic identity, revealing how the physical act of gouging, hacking, and printing became as meaningful as the image itself. His sculptures, bold and deliberately unfinished, challenge every conventional notion of beauty, while his woodcuts demonstrate a lineage stretching back to Dürer and Kirchner, reborn in a post-war German consciousness scarred by history. For collectors, scholars, and admirers of contemporary expressionism, this catalogue raises a compelling question: when an artist strips away refinement with such ferocious intent, what raw truth is left behind?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269339521243,"sku":"2026200014907-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/358487fa-b1e2-4596-bd90-983663c6280a.png?v=1788998560","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014907-secondhand-georg-baselitz-sculpture-early-woodcuts","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
