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.

Jörg Immendorff 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.
