Description
Anselm Kiefer & Photography presents a unique perspective on the artist's use of photography in his work. Born two months before the Nazi capitulation in 1945, Anselm Kiefer's art reflects on post-war identity, loss, and shared experience, drawing from myths and literature. This book explores Kiefer's relationship with photography, featuring over 130 works that reveal what images can convey. Kiefer's use of photography as both practice and source material is a lesser-known aspect of his artistic practice, yet it has played a central role throughout his career. The book delves into the artist's investigations into the power of images, shedding light on this pivotal element of Kiefer's oeuvre. With its extensive collection of photographs, this publication offers a fresh insight into Anselm Kiefer's artistic vision and practice.
