Summary

Anselm Kiefer was born in 1945 and was a pupil of Joseph Beuys. His dark-colored landscapes of destroyed cathedrals and deserted forests, pervaded by a sense of tragedy and full of reference to Northern mythology, are famous. He paints with pieces of paper, glass, tar or bundles of straw and has been known since his first exhibitions held in the 70s and 80s in Germany and the United States.

Now well-known throughout the world, Kiefer is presenting 30 or so works from the last two years at the exhibition in the Galleria d'Arte Moderna di Bologna. Some of these are exhibited for the first time; others have been made expressly for the museum. The book includes paintings, sculptures, installation, books and glass.
