This dazzling monograph restores the vital 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, part of the infinite wealth of resources with which he probes the depths of memory and the past.
