Tomorrow, six days after the death of German painter Georg Baselitz, an exhibition of his final paintings will open in Venice. Titled Golden Heroes, the show’s huge canvases are covered entirely in gold, over which Baselitz painted fine, inky drawings in scrawling lines, showing either him or his wife, nude and lying down, as if viewed from above. They will go on view at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini on the island of San Giorgio, a short boat ride from Venice, until 27 September.
