• This monumental linocut shows a male body in a very simple yet highly expressive posture.
• Symbolism is always present in the works of Georg Baselitz and gains additional power by putting this archaic motif upside down.
• Rare large-size print, which has only been offered twice on the international auction market (source: www.artnet.de).
