Jorg Immendorff: For All Beloved In The World

The first major exhibition catalog on Jorg Immendorff (1945-2007) since his death, this volume offers a thematic overview of more than four decades of the artist's work, with more than 120 iconic paintings.
For All Beloved in the World offers a thematic overview of the work of this German artist, whose identity is deeply enshrined in his home country's history and characterized by a post-war background. More than 120 works do not follow a strict chronology of the works; instead they present the key element in the development of Immendorff's oeuvre in chapters. They give a nuanced view of the artist's life and work and include some of the rarest loans, bringing together more than four decades of the artist's work united with iconic paintings. It was not until the end of the 1970s that Immendorff decided to shift his threefold existence as a political activist, teacher and painter to the side of art.
