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.

Developed in collaboration with the artist’s estate, the project follows every stage of his career, from his early years at the academy to the works produced in his final Düsseldorf studio. Around 100 objects – including major painting cycles, wood and bronze sculptures, and previously unseen drawings and archival material – chart the breadth of his practice. Beyond the sheer range of his output, the exhibition foregrounds Immendorff’s persistent interrogation of the artist’s place in society, as well as his responses to the political urgencies of his era and the contradictions that fuelled his public image.

Curators: Felicity Korn and Westrey Page
