This publication focuses on two series of prints by Georg Baselitz that explore the subject of the hand. Estranged from the body, the hands, some a delicate depiction of the artist’s own appendage, writhe and twist across the pages, others emerge from dark backgrounds, hovering close to abstraction.

Devotion, which traces Georg Baselitz's interest in portraiture, explores a major body of work by the artist, which was presented in his first exhibition of prints in the UK in over 25 years. For Baselitz, printmaking is as important a part of his artistic practice as painting, drawing and sculpture.
