Baselitz's art has never been as highly regarded in the United States as in Europe. Published for the traveling retrospective exhibition, Waldman's book provides an opportunity to reappraise the work of this contemporary artist. The excellent essay combines biographical information with detailed criticism and interpretation of many of the major works. The translations of the artist's writings provide further insight into the evolving symbols in his work, the isolated images, the grotesqueries, and the disoriented inverted figures. The works can be moving or shocking but universally display an imaginative range. Baselitz may not be a giant, but he is certainly an impressive, persuasive artist, and the book should make the public more aware of his contributions to 20th-century art.?Paula Frosch, Metropolitan Museum of Art Lib., New York
