White Cube Bermondsey is set to host a major exhibition of new large-scale paintings and works on paper by the renowned German artist Georg Baselitz in the summer of 2026. The showcase features his signature upside-down compositions across diverse themes, including Indian deities, portraits of his wife Elke, and the symbolic eagle motif, often set against luminous gold or sky-blue backgrounds. This presentation follows his successful 2024 show at the gallery and highlights the artist's continued exploration of human and animal forms through a raw, expressive lens.
This exhibition is part of a significant global moment for Baselitz, coinciding with four other major institutional shows across Italy and Austria in 2026. As one of Germany’s most influential living artists, Baselitz’s enduring relevance is underscored by this coordinated international presence. The event also reaffirms White Cube’s position as a primary platform for blue-chip contemporary art, bridging the artist's historical legacy with his latest creative developments regarding aging and spirituality.
