The monkey plays a central role in the artist's oeuvre: ‘For me the monkey has always been an alter ego. A symbol of the ambivalence of the artist’s existence, of conviction and self-doubt. He's silly and wise and represents contradictions.’

The painting shows minor rubbing to the bee upper left; otherwise the painting and the frame are in very good condition,according to age.

Jörg Immendorff (1945-2007)
Jörg Immendorff was born in 1945 in Bleckede in Lower Saxony. He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and at the beginning he created figurative paintings with socio-critical messages. Immendorff developed a new style of history paintings in Germany. In 1976 he took part at the Biennale in Venice. In the same year he formed a friendship with the German painter A. R. Penck, who at this time still lived in East Germany and was proscribed there. Jörg Immendorff is considered as one of the most important, contemporary German artists. He died in 2007 in Düsseldorf.
