Description

Anselm Kiefer's Notebooks, Volume 1 (1998-99) is a unique insight into the artist's creative process. For the first time translated into English, these diary accounts reveal Kiefer's fascination with language and his connection to various writers and thinkers of the past. The entries span the years 1998-1999 and explore how Kiefer's artworks were informed by his reading and vice versa. This volume provides a glimpse into the development of his works from this period, showcasing his affinity for language and the process of thoughts, experiences, and adventures slowly transcending the limits of art. Translated by Tess Lewis, these diaries offer a fresh perspective on Kiefer's artistic vision, one that is marked by ambiguity, self-doubt, and a rejection of easy solutions.
