I remember Velcro and German neo-expressionism. Velcro I liked. Neo-expressionism really annoyed me. All that macho nationalism. People like Immendorff and Baselitz were basically selling Germanness, some kind of clichéd version of cultural identity. It mostly seemed to be a theatrical cover-up for the new yuppie economy. I felt more affinity with artists of earlier generations: Schwitters, Cage, Kaprow.
