About Jörg Immendorff
Jörg Immendorff (German 1945 – 2007) was Germany’s best-known and most provocative artist, a close friend of the former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and, in 2003, the central figure in a sex scandal involving prostitutes and cocaine-fuelled orgies at a luxury hotel. Immendorff was regarded by many critics as an original and vigorous artist of great complexity. His early work in the 1960s reflected the political upheavals of the times, but he later emerged as one of the leading figures of the new German Expressionism.
In 2005 Immendorff’s work was hung at the Saatchi Gallery in London as part of an exhibition – The Triumph of Painting – that ranked among the top five British shows of that year. Charles Saatchi was a long-standing and enthusiastic collector of Immendorff’s paintings. After coming to prominence as a member of the German art movement Jungen Wilden (the Young Wild Ones), Immendorff became a figure of national acclaim, whose pictures sold for more than £100,000 apiece. His best-known work includes the Café Deutschland series of 16 large paintings in which he addressed the conflict between East and West Germany. His huge colourful canvases, depicting fictitious settings such as discothèques and cafés, were heavily laden with political iconography and imagery. “In my paintings, symbols associated with National Socialist Germany function as kinds of clichés in so far as they stand for universal evils,” he explained.
