Artists

Jörg Immendorff

Press release

Jörg Immendorff (1945–2007) was hailed internationally in the late twentieth century as one of the most influential German artists of his generation. A self-styled Malerfürst ("painter prince"), he cultivated a combative persona and led a notoriously contentious life. All the more striking, then, that the exhibition planned for autumn 2026 will be his first full retrospective in Düsseldorf: the city where he studied, taught and worked for decades.
