Published to accompany an exhibition at the British Museum, Germany Divided: Baselitz and his Generation showcases a selection of works from six artists who re-defined art in Germany in the second half of the twentieth century: Georg Baselitz, Markus Lüpertz, Blinky Palermo, A.R. Penck, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter. The majority of the works are displayed and published here for the first time. Germany Divided explores the work of these artists in the broader historical context of Germany and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, and shows how these debates placed crucial emphasis on the creation and display of art. Graphic traditions, reaching back through Expressionism to older traditions of printmaking in Germany, were an essential part of the reconstruction of artistic life, and a basis for the phenomenal success of German art on the international stage in the decades to follow.
