Rosenthal Artist Plate No. 27 Jörg Immendorff
The limited-edition Rosenthal Artist Plate No. 27 bears the striking inscription "bleibt - babel - erstmal - babel" and visualizes Immendorff's complex exploration of language play, myth, and civilization.
About the artist: Jörg Immendorff (1945 - 2007)
Jörg Immendorff (*June 14, 1945, Bleckede – †May 28, 2007, Düsseldorf) was an influential German artist: painter, sculptor, graphic artist, performance artist, and university professor. He was one of the leading figures in contemporary German art since the early 1980s.
Immendorff was a student of Joseph Beuys at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and a co-founder of the Neue Wilde movement. His well-known work cycle, Café Deutschland, pointedly addresses the division of Germany. His artistic language was always politically charged, symbolically dense, and often ironic.
The plate "bleibt – babel – erstmal – babel" draws on motifs from his print series "Babel," which, through color linocuts, explores signs of fragmented communication and cultural towers.
This plate translates the linguistic level into a formal statement: the exploration of fragmented meaning, myth, and linguistic deconstruction is translated into the elegant and everyday medium of porcelain.
ART FLAGEY Berlin presents the plate by Jörg Immendorff as part of its selection of limited edition artist plates by Rosenthal.
