The Facts
On August 31, 2026, Thaddaeus Ropac gallery announced the exhibition 'Per Mano,' organized in close dialogue with Georg Baselitz before his death in April 2026. The show, running from September 1 to November 14, 2026, presents a reflection on the artist's final decade, featuring his celebrated Schatten and Darkness Goldness series. Baselitz, a towering figure in post-war German art, died at age 88.
The Signal
The exhibition offers a rare, intimate look at Baselitz's late output, a period marked by his signature inverted figures and increasingly abstract, gestural works. For collectors, this is a significant opportunity to acquire pieces from his final years, a period that may see heightened market interest following the artist's passing. The show underscores Thaddaeus Ropac's long-standing commitment to Baselitz's legacy, positioning the gallery as a key venue for post-war German art.
