L’ART AFRICAIN DANS LA COLLECTION DE BASELITZ

Description

Catalog published on the occasion of an exhibition from the collection of Georg Baselitz in Paris in April 1994 illustrated with numerous reproductions of works from his private collection that reproduces a conversation between Jacques Kerchache and Georg Baselitz. They say jealous collectors of their treasures, reluctant to lend, more demanding than most discerning museums. But maybe not the artists … their collections do not they maintain with their creation a lively and ambiguous relationship where sympathy and impregnation dispute the refusal and violence? The choice of an artist is never innocent, never anecdotal, and his eyes allows us to increase our level of reading about his own creation. Jacques Kerchache by his passion for the “first arts” as for contemporary art was the right man to present undecorated or local color, mixed with love and science, the testimony of African art that enlightens us on art, period.
