These works are now on view in “Georg Baselitz: Pivotal Turn” through July 18. The portraits, made in 1969, are among the first that Baselitz created using the radical strategy of inversion, in which the pictorial motif is literally turned upside down, enabling the artist to focus on painting’s possibilities, rather than the image of the sitter in direct relationship to the viewer. These portraits of the artist’s friends and associates in the German art world—the journalist Martin G. Buttig, the gallerists Franz Dahlem and Michael Werner, and the collector Karl Rinn—are deeply personal and have remained in the artist’s collection for six decades.
