  • Catalogue Essay

    “For Immendorff what is valid, above all, is a clear and relatively narrowly circumscribed iconographic canon: ape and eagle are the preferred animal symbols which appear as allegorical images with various meanings in his paintings and as sculptures… The ape looks political facts in the eye: he is an observer of the world, a “survivor” who saves something from this “stage of history” for future generations. He is the alter ego who can let his spirit roam in order to interpret the world. The ape is co-artist, as it were; he is friend and enemy of the artist and his constant competitor.” (H. Althofer, Immendorff: Bilder, Heidelberg, 2000, p.160)
