Markus Lüpertz

About the Artist:

Markus Lüpertz, born in 1941, is a German painter, sculptor, graphic artist and writer. He is known for his suggestive and primitive monumental themes, insisting on an archetypal representation of the presented object in his artworks, and is regarded as one of the most representative artists of German Neo-Expressionism together with Georg Bazelitz, Anselm Kiefer and others. In 1965 he founded the Grossgossen Gallery with other artists, in 1974 he received the German Critics Association Prize and organised the frst Berlin Biennale in the same year, and from 1974 to 1986 he held a professorship of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe, where he was awarded a professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf in 1986, and in 1988 was appointed rector.
