乔治·巴塞利兹（Georg Baselitz），1939年生于萨克森德意志巴塞利茨，原名汉斯-乔治·科恩。他的作品持续突破既定范畴与规范，其中蕴含的多重意义、对艺术史/当代史与传记的隐喻及图像指涉、讽刺性的疏离感与实验热情，无不彰显着其对绘画语言的不断重构与革新。自1979年首次涉足雕塑领域起，巴塞利兹如同在绘画中一般抗拒着和谐与对称。正如画家赋予画布上每一笔触极致自由，雕塑家则用电锯、斧凿与刻刀雕琢木材——粗粝的力量感在雕塑上留下凌厉的线条、凹痕与切口。艺术家曾言，雕塑是比绘画更短促的路径，能更原始、更野蛮、更无条件地表达相同命题。创作手段中跃动的表现力在雕塑媒介中显得更直接可读，更少编码痕迹。

本书作为权威全集目录，系统收录了艺术家三十年间创作的全部五十八件雕塑作品：从首件雕塑《雕塑模型》（1979-80）至最新作《民众物零号》（2009），首次实现全部雕塑作品的学术性集结，堪称具有里程碑意义的研究参考专著。

Georg Baselitz, born Hans-Georg Kern in Deutschbaselitz, Saxony, in 1939, continuously contravenes set categories and regularities in his work. The manifold meanings of his works, the allusions and pictorial references to art history, contemporary history and biography, the ironic distance and the eagerness to experiment emphasize how he ceaselessly rethinks and reinvents his painting. In sculpture, in which Baselitz first began to work in 1979, he fights against harmony and symmetry just as he does in his paintings. Much like the painter Baselitz accords the greatest possible freedom to the individual brushstrokes in his paintings, the sculptor Baselitz works the wood with a chain saw, hatchet and chisel. The raw feats of strength create abrupt lines, notches and incisions in the sculpture. Sculpture, the artist has said, is a shorter path than painting to express the same problem, since sculpture is more primitive, more brutal and more unconditional. The lively evocative power of the creative means is much more directly legible and much less encoded in the medium of sculpture.

This volume is a catalogue raisonné documenting all fifty-eight sculptures created over the past thirty years, from his first sculpture Modell für eine Skulptur (“Model for a Sculpture,” 1979–80) to his most recent, Volk Ding Zero (“People Thing Zero,” 2009). Thus it offers a scholarly work of reference in which all of the sculptures are brought together for the first time.
