“As an artist, I have been a risk-taker. And I've done a lot of different things. I don't make it easy for people. Identification is difficult. One doesn't recognize my art right away.” PeopleArtDifferentDoneArtistEasyDifficult Author:Georg Baselitz
“There's a market for art, and things are indeed going swimmingly, especially for German artists. But everything takes place in America and in London, where there are quite a few wealthy, engaged people. What motivates them to buy art is a different question, but they do.” PeopleArtDifferentArtistArt IsWealthy Author:Georg Baselitz
“I have always been aware of different movements and directions in art. But, in general, I'm always bored by any kind of generalization when it comes to artists. I think that there are just single individuals, who are valuable, and they work outside of any group.” ThinkingKindArtDifferentArtistIndividualWork OutValuableBored Author:Georg Baselitz
“In the beginning, the energy involved to create came from my reaction to the work of other artists. The force behind this was aggression. The art that I saw was great, but I had to reject it, because I could not continue in the same direction. So I had to do something entirely different. It had to be so different, so extreme, that those who loved pop art, for instance, hated me. And this was my strength.” ArtDifferentArtistEnergyHatedAggressionPop Art Author:Georg Baselitz
