As one of the most famous German artists of our times, Baselitz's work firmly rooted in the traditions of German painting, yet beyond all artistic movements and styles, making him an exceptionally autonomous figure in art. For over fifty years, continuous renewal and critical (self-)reflection have been the centre of Baselitz's art.

Leopold Museum, Vienna, Austria
24 April, 2015 – 14 September, 2015

The exhibition features recent and entirely new works and installations by Tracey Emin which will at times enter into a dialogue with select drawings and written documents by Egon Schiele. Tracey Emin’s interest in the masters of Modernism, and first and foremost in Egon Schiele, has an influence on her paintings, monotypes and drawings that is not to be underestimated. Using Expressionist elements and themes, her works address complex personal issues and concepts of self-portrayal. The juxtaposition of Tracey Emin’s works with those of Egon Schiele exposes similarities in the artistic aspirations of both artists and allows for a new visual experience.
