Museum der Moderne, Salzburg Presents Exhibition of Georg Baselitz's Late Works
On June 26, 2026, the Museum der Moderne, Salzburg announced a milestone exhibition dedicated to Georg Baselitz's late works (Spätwerk), focusing on his artistic achievements in later years. The show inverts conventional representation, directing attention to pure color, form, and expressive brushstrokes. A key work on view is the 2022 painting "Weißes Bett, weiß" at the entrance. The exhibition traces Baselitz's evolution from early thin golden surfaces depicting heroes and myths to thick impastos, and finally to recent "goldenen Bilder" inspired by Indian mythology, featuring translucent, weightless figures.
The Signal
For collectors and curators, this exhibition offers a rare institutional focus on Baselitz's late-career output, a period often overshadowed by his earlier, more iconic works. The inclusion of the 2022 "Weißes Bett, weiß" and the new golden paintings signals a shift in the artist's practice toward a more serene, spiritual vocabulary, which may influence market interest in his recent production. The show reinforces Salzburg's role as a destination for deep, scholarly presentations of major living artists, providing context for understanding Baselitz's ongoing evolution.
