His stars, his landscapes, his dark yet soaring vision... The catalog doesn't do justice to the art, which fills a gallery wall, and requires one to sit and be carried into the rough-hewn scene of distance, farm fields, crumbling buildings, destruction, construction, yearning, such yearning...

A retrospective volume of Anselm Kiefer's work, this catalog addresses the artist's entire career through the lens of one compelling theme. From his earliest sculptures to his recent highly textured paintings, Anselm Kiefer has woven themes of heaven and earth into his work, exploring the polarities of these ideas while struggling to define the transcendent quality that places art squarely in between. Destruction and rebirth, glory and shame, sin and redemption all figure largely in Kiefer's often controversial depictions of Germany's physical and cultural landscape. This catalog of more than sixty reproductions includes Kiefer's first work, Heaven, as well as numerous other rare early works. It features watercolors produced specifically for the publication as well as an interview with the artist. No library descriptions found. |
