The Prize

Work of art by Markus Lüpertz.

Mixed technique on paper. Dimensions: 43.2 x 61.5 cm. Year 1990.

Markus Lüpertz is a German Neo-Expressionist whose paintings and sculptures seamlessly blend figuration and abstraction. Seeking to simplify forms while also magnifying details, the artist often employs close up views of heads and faces within the picture plane. Born on April 25, 1941 in Liberec, Czech Republic, he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, graduating in 1961 and moving to Berlin a year later. While in Berlin, Lüpertz worked alongside other German artists, including Georg Baselitz, A.R. Penck and Jörg Immendorff to strive for a different approach to art-making that didn’t parallel the dominant artistic lexicons of Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism. Through the following decades, Lüpertz has sought a more emotional, representative form of painting, considering Francis Picabia’s varied style as a precursor to his own. Lüpertz’s works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Von der Heydt-Museum in Wuppertal, Germany, among others.
