Georg Baselitz Presents Wood Sculptures and Delivers Manifesto Lecture at Royal Academy of Art

In December, German artist Georg Baselitz exhibited wood sculptures in London. He delivered a manifesto lecture at the Royal Academy of Art during this period. The tone of his presentation contrasted sharply with Baudrillardian discourses sometimes used to justify overly transparent artistic practices. While not unusual for Baselitz, his approach stood out against these theoretical frameworks. The exhibition featured his sculptural works created from wood materials. His lecture served as both artistic statement and critical intervention in contemporary art discourse.
