Jörg Immendorff

In the organizer's words:

Jörg Immendorff (1945-2007) was celebrated worldwide at the end of the 20th century as one of the most important German artists of his generation. As a notorious "painter prince", he cultivated a tough image and led a controversial lifestyle. This makes it all the more surprising that the exhibition planned for fall 2026 at the Kunstpalast is the first comprehensive retrospective in Düsseldorf, where Immendorff studied, taught and worked for decades. The project, supported by the artist's estate, will shed light on all phases of his work, from his beginnings at the art academy to his last works in his studio here.

The approximately 100 exhibits on display include large-format series of paintings, wood and bronze sculptures as well as drawings and archive material that have never been shown before. In addition to the breadth of his creative work, the presentation highlights Immendorff's persistent questioning of the role of the artist in society. The simultaneous confrontation with socially pressing political contexts is just as much a focus as the contradictions of his own person.
