Margarete Roeder Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of etchings, aquatints, and monotypes by Georg Baselitz from February 19 – March 27, 2004. The prints are selected from three recent portfolios: Elke, a series of monotype portraits of the artist’s wife, who, in addition to printing some of the artist’s works, has long been a central figure in Baselitz’s imagery. Elke 13 2003 (16/VI/03) etching with monotype paper: 30 x 22-1/2", 76 x 57 cm plate: 13 x 9-3/4", 33 x 24.8 cm #13 from a series of 30   Elke 22 2003 (17/VI/03) etching with monotype paper: 30 x 22-1/2", 76 x 57 cm plate: 13 x 9-3/4", 33 x 24.8 cm #22 from 30 monotypes   Elke 27 2003 (17/VI/03) etching with monotype paper: 30 x 22-1/2", 76 x 57 cm plate: 13 x 9-3/4", 33 x 24.8 cm #27 from 30 monotypes The second Fluß und Schrift, (Stream and Writing) is based on Baselitz’s reading of Antonin Artaud’s Thêatre de Séraphim. The forms of contorted bodies and corporeal details address and reconfigure Artaud’s images of creation arising from the fragmentary detritus of destruction.
