DESCRIPTION:  In Gyntiana, Immendorff presents an allegory of creation: surrounded by heroes of ideological importance, an onion springs forth from a richly fertile womb. Immendorff once said that painting ‘has the function of a potato'. Here it's reborn in the multilayered richness of ideological and intellectual nourishment.
