Review:
Writing about one of the most important and complex artists of our times requires the erudition, clarity, and broad view of a Daniel Arasse, author of the gorgeously illustrated Anselm Kiefer. Avoiding a straightforward chronological survey, Arasse plunges directly into Kiefer's major themes and the ways they reflect the artist's subtly evolving perspectives on German history, the role of the artist, and the meaning of life. Arasse illuminates Kiefer's use of Jewish kabbalistic symbolism, his relationship to philosophers and writers from Nietzsche to Celan, and the rich trove of metaphor to be found in his use of lead, straw, books, and images of railroad tracks and artists' palettes. Never succumbing to art-speak, Arasse--whose French text has been deftly translated into English--marshals his arguments with lucid elegance. The approximately 400 full-color plates, including full views and close-ups, are magnificent. This is surely one of the major art books of our time. --Cathy Curtis

Book Description Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. 220 Seiten, 20.32 x 24.13 cm - Anselm Kiefers großformatiges, 36-seitiges Buch aus Blei und Acryl von 2001, betitelt for Robert Fludd the secret life of plants - gewidmet dem englischen Mystiker des 17. Jahrhunderts - gehört zur einer kleinen, nur 18 Arbeiten umfassenden, hochkarätigen Sammlung, die hier erstmals vorgestellt wird. Hinreißend sind die Fotos, die das Sammlerpaar Eva und Carl Großhaus in den letzten Jahren von Kiefers La Ribaute - ein 14 Hektar großes Areal in der Einsamkeit der Provence - gemacht hat. Das Areal ist mit Werk- und Lagerhallen, Ateliers, monumentalen Außenskulpturen, Bulldozern, Kränen, Lastwagen, Straßenwalzen und Baumaschinen angefüllt. Ein Mittel, das Kiefer einsetzt, um das Land zu seinem Land zu machen. Mit den Fotos dieser Landschaft ist eine Bildfolge entstanden, die den Zugang zur Persönlichkeit und zum Werk Kiefers erleichtert. Seller Inventory # ABE-1574755746811
