Berlin & Beyond - I. Immendorff
Jrg Immendorff, who ranks among the most
important of contemporary German artists,
died in 2007 after a 9-year-long struggle with
ALS, or Lou Gehrigs Desease. This documentary
records his final two years as he continues,
despite being lamed by the disease, to create
large-scale masterpieces through assistants.
During this time he also remains professor at
Dsseldorf Art Academy, where he had been a
student of Joseph Beuys decades earlier. Interviews
with the people who knew him best provide
background and historical context to his
artistic expression that spans personal and political
topics through performance, paintings,
and sculpture. Filmmaker Graef aims to both
convey the man and the legend for which life
and art were inseparable.
