Georg Baselitz "REMIX"
Opening Saturday, November 17 at the Gallerie Catherine Putman

Opening / Vernissage Saturday, November 17, 2007

The gallery Catherine Putnam, Baselitz french editor since 1997, shows the latest prints of the artist as well as some recent gouaches and ink in the series of "Remix". Since 2005, Baselitz Actually resumes, in his painting and in his printmaking, compositions from the 60's and 70's. He redraws them, sometimes even questionning the inversion of figures (started in 1969), illustrating a genuine dialogue with his early work.

He strikes at the copper plate, wood or linoleum (more appropriate surface for monumental prints) with as much violence and control as found in his painting and his sculpture. Indeed, the style of Georg Baselitz was confirmed over the years in finding an accuracy and a fantastic energy in its strokes. George Baselitz masters the colors he manipulates with lightness and harmony, all in a sense of freshness.


A major feature of this "engraver-painter" is to represent his subjects head upside down. Indeed, for him this technique gave him the freedom to confront pictorial problems.

MAC 2000 isn't your average art meeting mixing creation, art and business with various success ( does the art shopping deception rings a bell ?). MAC 2000 is the meeting point for tomorrow's artists.

MAC 2000, the contemporary art event, was created in 1984. Since 2005, Hervé Bourdin, visual artist, but also president of the commission for culture of the regional council for Paris and its suburbs, has taken the lead, generating new dynamics.

An annual event, MAC 2000 takes place at the Espace Champerret in Paris (5000m²), where it introduces 130 professional artists of the day (painting, sculpture, photography, medial art, installation).

A commitee composed of artists, critics and art collectors is in charge of the rigorous selection, seeking emerging talents and new fields of creation.
The artists are present int their booths during the whole event, meeting the public composed of professionals and amateurs.

For its 2007 edition, MAC 2000 is gathering, new talents coming from all over the French regions, yet unknown talents. They will exhibit their innovative works for the first time in Paris. A Black & white gallerie will be in the heart of the exhibition.

n.b. Two musical evenings
Alien Brain Suckers will give MAC 2000 another beat on friday 23rd and Saturday 24th starting at 08pm with their cool blues and rock repertoire.
