Published on the occasion of the major 2024 exhibition of Kiefer's works in Florence's Palazzo Strozzi, a range of interviews and essays present an itinerary through Kiefer's historical works & new productions in an original dialogue with the architecture of the Palazzo Strozzi and broader Italian history. This monograph illuminates the complexity of Kiefer’s art: celebrating its interweaving of figural art & abstraction, creation & destruction, in a strong engagement for the public in the physical and conceptual space of his works. Each of Kiefer’s paintings and sculptures expresses a monumentality and powerful materiality, with which he probes the depths of memory and the past.
