German painter
Jörg Immendorff (1945-2007) became a darling of the world art scene during the 1980s with his
Cafe Deutschland series of overcrowded dystopian paintings, reflecting a divided Germany. Obituaries seemed to agree that Immendorff's achievement soared briefly in that decade, with no later work of comparable interest
– a situation similar (at least by Janet Malcolm's
account) to another 80s art star, David Salle.
