Details

The first major retrospective of work to be held in the UK by Honorary Royal Academician, Anselm Kiefer. A highly erudite artist, Kiefer's intellectual discourse with the work of past masters, and with history itself, permeates his oeuvre. This large scale retrospective will include works ranging from Kiefer's student days up to the present time, comprising artist's books, drawings, photographs, watercolours, paintings, sculptures and installations. Following in the Royal Academy's tradition of celebrating its artist members with single artist shows, this exhibition will present Anselm Kiefer as an artist who continues to seek new challenges and produce ever more ambitious work, including pieces conceived specifically for the Royal Academy's galleries.
