Art Basel 2022

The 1980s, important years in painting, have always been a point of focus at DANIEL BLAU. On the occasion of our 30th anniversary exhibition at Art Basel, we will show highlights of our program, featuring works by renowned artists including Georg Baselitz (*1938), Alfred Jensen (1903-1981), Francis Gruber (1912-1948), Carl Fredrik Hill (1849-1911), Anselm Kiefer (*1945), Eugène Leroy (1910-2000), Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997), Emilio Vedova (1919-2006) and Andy Warhol (1928-1987)
 
Our exhibition will focus on the 1980s, with a large untitled gestural painting by Vedova from 1983 and a colorful brush stroke painting “The Old Tree” by Lichtenstein from the following year, complemented by the “Adlerkopf” painted by Baselitz (1986). Alongside these grandmasters, some artists working outside the main-stream are also of interest, such as Hill, Gruber and Jensen, who have been so influential to modern and contemporary artists alike. Hill, who had an academic education in Paris, almost exclusively used pencil and paper after his nervous breakdown in 1878, producing a large body of works on paper, which have been inspirational to artists ever since, will be exhibited for the first time at Art Basel. The French Francis Gruber and Swedish Evert Lundquist are two further artists lesser known to the general public but heroes within the art community. Gruber, who unfortunately died at the age of 36, will also be shown at Art Basel for the first time. Further on view are drawings by Kiefer, Baselitz, Polke and Warhol.
 
We look forward to seeing you in Basel.
