Anselm Kiefer Collectible Art Book
By Anselm Kiefer
Located in North Hollywood, CA
Title: Anselm Kiefer (Venezia Contemporaneo)
Publisher: Brand: Charta
Publication Date: 1997
Binding: Soft cover
An excellent overview of Anselm Kiefer_s long career. Over the past four decades, Anselm Kiefer has produced a diverse body of work in painting, sculpture and installation that has made him among the most important artists of his generation. His subject-matter ranges over sources as diverse as Teutonic mythology and history, alchemy and the nature of belief, all depicted in a bewildering variety of materials, including oil paint, dirt, lead, models, photographs, woodcuts, sand, straw and all manner of organic material. By adding found materials to the painted surface of his immense tableaux, he invents a compelling third space between painting and sculpture.
Synopsis:
This monograph presents Kiefer's complete work to date, reproduced in full color.
Review:
Writing about one of the most important and complex artists of our times requires the erudition, clarity, and broad view of a Daniel...
