German painter Georg Baselitz emerged in the 1960s and quickly distinguishing himself as one of the preeminent artists of the postwar era. Almost 50 years later, we now know his upside-down imagery so well that it is almost superfluous to mention it; yet its function still resonates, allowing us to see the painting beyond its content, in essence, to free seeing from thinking. In this volume of works on paper from Baselitz's Remix series, the artist trades in his heavily applied oil paints for a suite of vibrant watercolors graced by india ink to revisit the iconic themes and motifs from his work of the 60s, 70s and 80s. In music, to "remix" is to repeat or to copy in some way; here, to remix is to add through imitation or a retelling. The remixed work is purposefully self-reflexive and pushes at the boundaries of Baselitz's practice as a painter.
