ANSELM KIEFER (b.1945)
Kiefer’s monumental canvases confront Germany’s history with visceral honesty, incorporating lead, straw, ash, and clay. Exploring myth, memory, and destruction, his textured works carry emotional weight and philosophical depth. His art resides in the Guggenheim Bilbao, Art Institute of Chicago, and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
"Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas."
