Markus Lüpertz came to West Germany with his family at the age of seven. He studied from 1956 to 1963 at the Werkkunstschule Krefeld under Laurens Goosens and at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. In 1962, Lüpertz moved to West Berlin, where he founded the self-help gallery "Großgörschen 35" together with Bernd Koberling and Karl Horst Hödicke. Contrary to all contemporary tendencies towards abstraction, Lüpertz began to paint pictures with simple, representational content. In a 1966 manifesto he described his expressive pictures as “dithyrambic painting”, after an ancient Greek cult song to the god of fertility Dionysus. Between 1969 and 1977, he created the "German motifs", still life-like compositions that present symbolic objects from the past, such as steel helmets, shovels or flags, in monstrous sizes and thus demand a confrontation with German history. In 1970, Lüpertz received the Villa Romana Prize and spent a year on scholarship in Florence. In 1976 he accepted a professorship at the Academy in Karlsruhe. from 1977 onwards, Lüpertz took up abstract tendencies of the 1950s in his “Style Pictures”. In the same year, the Hamburger Kunsthalle shows a first overview of his work, followed by the Kunsthalle Bern and the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. The increasing abstraction was abandoned in the early 1980s in favor of a new objectivity and spatiality using art historical quotations and set pieces. In addition to using all printmaking techniques, Lüpertz also works as a poet and, since 1980, as a stage designer and sculptor. In 1982 he took part in documenta VII in Kassel. In 1986, Markus Lüpertz was appointed to the Düsseldorf Art Academy, which he has headed as rector since 1988. In 1990 Lüpertz received the Lovis Corinth Prize from the Esslingen Artists' Guild. Important solo exhibitions have been dedicated to his work, for example in 1996 a thematic exhibition took place in the North Rhine-Westphalia Art Collection, Düsseldorf and in 1997 a retrospective exhibition in the Kunsthalle of the Hypo-Kulturstiftung, Munich, which was subsequently shown in Wuppertal and Barmen. In 1997/98 his works were represented at the exhibition "Images of Germany: Art from a Divided Country" in the Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin. This piece has an attribution mark,
