Baselitz. AVANTI! — major monographic exhibition at Museo Novecento

Baselitz. AVANTI! at Museo Novecento

From 25 March to 13 September 2026, Museo Novecento in Florence presents "Baselitz. AVANTI!", a major monographic exhibition dedicated to Georg Baselitz that places particular emphasis on his graphic work while engaging painting and sculpture in dialogue.

Curated by Sergio Risaliti with the collaboration of Daniel Blau, the show brings together more than 170 works — including works on paper, paintings and sculptures — arranged across the museum's three floors. A significant portion consists of prints and linocuts, framing printmaking as an autonomous and central field in Baselitz's practice.

Why see it

• Printmaking in focus: the exhibition highlights techniques and experiments in graphic media that have shaped the artist’s language.
• A comprehensive overview: the display spans over sixty years of work, revealing continuities and tensions in Baselitz’s production.
• The upside-down motif: the inversion of figures is presented as a conceptual tool that challenges perception and renews visual language.
