Item description from seller

Pale white-grey hardcover with title in maroon gilt on front cover and spine. Condition: Very good, with just a faint hint of shelfwear to covers. This catalogue was deaccessioned from the library of the art dealer Offer Waterman and Co. and bears a discreet circular blindstamp hand-numbered in the centre to the lower right of the half-title. 98pp. Many colour illustrations. This book is not a catalogue, but was produced to accompany the sale of the series of paintings by Georg Baselitz (b.1938) entitled 11 P.D.Feet at Christie's London on the 4th October, 2018.At the time of the sale, Christie's lot description stated: "A series of rare and singular importance, held in the same distinguished private collection for forty years, Georg Baselitzs 11 P.D. Feet is a seminal suite of early works that announced his artistic ambitions to the world. Painted between 1960 and 1963, and reunited by the present owner in the 1970s, these revolutionary canvases offer visceral depictions of wounded feet, rendered with intuitive painterly marks in richly marbled palettes. The initials P.D. signify the works allegiance to the artists Pandemonic manifestos of 1961-62: apocalyptic texts that called for art to embrace the carnal, the convulsive and the mystical, and which gave rise to early masterpieces such as The Big Night Down the Drain, 1962- 63 (Museum Ludwig, Cologne)". The book includes a five page essay by Helle Crenzien of the Lousiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark.
