Georg Baselitz: Meine Schule

Aurrebista: erakusketa ireki aurretik idatzia

Two of the paintings show schoolchildren lined up beneath a banner reading Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer. It hung outside the schoolhouse in Deutschbaselitz, where Baselitz's father taught and the family lived during the war. It is the artist's earliest memory, and neither painting has been shown before.

Baselitz died in April and conceived and designed this show himself, around his last completed paintings. In the rest of them, tilt your head: the couple drawn in fine black lines on gold is Baselitz and his wife, Elke, upside down, each with a burst of bright impasto he called "a misplaced Willem de Kooning". There are also two monumental bronzes, including his last sculpture, Strawinsky, a seated figure over seven feet tall whose head and limbs collapse while its trunk stays upright.

Entry is free at 555 West 24th Street, Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 6pm. The opening reception is Thursday 12 November, 6 to 8pm, and the show runs until 23 January.
