Jorg Immendorff. Draw: Works from his Archive

One of the leading figures of the new German Expressionism, along with George Baselitz and Anselm Keifer, Jorg Immendorffs work first came to international prominence in the 1970s. His works deal largely with the crisis of post-war German identity, a frenetic relationship with modernity, and a deep rooted faith in the role of the artist as an integral political and social force. This book focuses on Immendorff's works on paper, a hitherto overlooked area of his oeuvre, but one that is crucial to an understanding of the artists work. They give evidence of a creative history during the course of which the artist repeatedly reconceived, analysed and altered his position.
