In the life of Georg Baselitz
The whole life1963
A scandal at his first solo show
Baselitz's first solo exhibition in West Berlin, at Galerie Werner & Katz, caused a public scandal: two days after the opening the public prosecutor seized two paintings, “The Big Night Down the Drain” and “The Naked Man”, as obscene; the court case did not end until October 1965.

At the Galeriehaus on Cologne's Lindenstraße Franz Dahlem put on the first exhibition of pictures with upside-down motifs.
