Anselm Kiefer - Artist

Anselm Kiefer is a German sculptor and painter, who creates monumental works using unusual materials, such as ash, shellac, lead, straw, and glitter. These pieces often allude to collective memory and controversial facts from our history, such as the Nazi rule, literary works, mythology, as well as historical figures the artist admires. In his work, Kiefer aims at confronting his culture’s dark past.
