The works by the two leading artists after the dissolution of their friendship.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneburg, Baselitz / Schnebeck 1962-66 focuses on the subjects and stylistic shifts of German artists Georg Baselitz and Eugen Schnebeck during the immediate four-year period after their friendship ended in 1962.
Both artists experienced the final days of World War II as adolescents. During their twenties, they produced the groundbreaking Pandemonium Manifestoes (1961-1962), retrospectively heralded by critics for shifting post-war painting through figuration and abstraction. Despite their accomplished collaboration, a paired exhibition has not
been possible in six decades.
