NEW YORK, NY.- Michael Werner Gallery presents an exhibition of Jörg Immendorff's Maoist Paintings from the early nineteen seventies. This historical exhibition is a rare occasion to see an important body of work by the late German artist. In 1970 Jörg Immendorff joined the League Against Imperialism, pledging henceforth to direct his creative endeavors to the service of the German Maoist party. Disillusioned by the outcome of European political events of the late nineteen sixties, and increasingly dissatisfied with his role as an artist, Immendorff sought to produce paintings for and about the working masses.
