KIEFER, ANSELM; KIEFER, ANSELM - Anselm Kiefer

Vertrieb, W. Konig, 1986. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 3883750506. New. Text in English and German. Anselm Kiefer developed an interest in working with diverse materials and was influenced by the Neo-Expressionist painters. Materiality figures heavily into Kiefer's practice. His large-scale paintings achieve their characteristic texture through his liberal application of pigments combined with found organic matter, metal, and lead, resulting in stark, haunting images with an imposing physicality. "Ruins, for me, are the beginning," he mused. "With the debris, you can construct new ideas. They are symbols of a beginning." Beautiful illustrations and interesting text.
