Anselm Kiefer - Heaven and earth. Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, September 25, 2005 - January 8, 2006

Sinopse

"A retrospective volume of Anselm Kiefer's work, this book 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 book of more than fifty reproductions includes Kiefer's first work, The Heavens, as well as numerous other rare early works and recent works being presented for the first time. It features an interview with the artist, which is accompanied by rich black-and-white photographs of his ongoing monumental installations on his property in Barjac, France."--Jacket.
