ARTIST ROOMS: Anselm Kiefer

Born in Germany in 1945, now living and working in France, Anselm Kiefer is one of the most important post-war European artists. Encompassing themes of environment, identity and memory as well as myth, history and literature, Kiefer’s works often address the legacy and identity of Germany and individuals after World War II. The artists use of natural materials such as lead, rope, ash and sand, bring an emotional and sculptural element to his paintings and photographs. The exhibition features works spanning the past 40 years of Kiefer’s career and presents a remarkable opportunity to see this ARTIST ROOMS group of works in the UK. ARTIST ROOMS is an inspirational collection of modern and contemporary art jointly owned by Tate and the National Galleries Scotland, which was established through The d’Offay Donation in 2008 and acquired with support from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the Art Fund and Scottish and British Governments.
