Markus Lüpertz
For over 50 years, the painter, graphic artist and sculptor Markus Lüpertz has left his mark on contemporary German art like no other and is today one of its best-known and most influential representatives. Since the beginning of his career, at the end of the 1960s, he fascinated and polarised with his expressive paintings and sculptures, but also with extroverted public appearances.
Lüpertz, born in 1941, created an extremely extensive and cross-stylistic oeuvre, was headmaster of the Düsseldorf Art Academy for over 20 years and also achieved international renown with worldwide exhibitions.
