Product Description
by Jean De Loisy (Author), S?bastien Delot (Author), Heiner Bastian (Author)
Known for his monumental painting and installations, the internationally celebrated artist Anselm Kiefer's works are marked by a constant questioning of history and collective memory. Born in Germany two months before the Nazi capitulation in 1945, Kiefer's reflections on postwar identity, loss, and shared experience, nourished by myths and literature, create an unparalleled breadth of imagery.
The use of photography as both practice and source material is a little-known aspect of Kiefer's art that has played a central role throughout his career. In the Beginning presents over one hundred and thirty works charting the artist's relationship with photography and his investigations into what images reveal.
