DUSSELDORF, GERMANY.- German Expressionist artist J鰎g Immendorff, 61, died early on Monday at his home in D黶seldorf. He had been suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease which attacks and destroys nerve cells in the brain.
J鰎g Immendorff was born on June 14, 1945 in Bleckede, a northern German town. He got noticed in the 1970s with a series of works called "Caf Deutschland" that dealt with the division of Germany. One of his most well-known works is an official portrait commissioned by Gerhard Schr鰀er where the former chancellor appears in a gilded head and clothes.
J鰎g Immendorff was a professor at the D黶seldorf Academy of Art. His last exhibition was held at Berlin's New National Gallery in 2005.
