Georg Baselitz’s sculpture Zero Dom (2015/2021) is installed in front of the Académie des beaux-arts, Paris, in conjunction with the artist’s retrospective at the Centre Pompidou, which is on view through March 7, 2022, and in celebration of his admission into the Académie des beaux-arts as a foreign associate member. The 9-meter-high patinated bronze sculpture features a bundle of legs in high heels, a recurring motif in the artist’s work, which he sees as a form of self-portrait.
