Anselm Kiefer

Anselm Kiefer SPAIN BILBAO  •  Guggenheim Museum Bilbao  •  Ongoing   This thematic exhibition showcases a selection of iconic works of the last ten years from the German artist Anselm Kiefer's (b. 1945) own personal holdings, as well as from private and public collections, including important pieces from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. The show is organized thematically and documents with particular emphasis on Kiefer’s monumental interventions, namely works that have a strong relationship with architecture and have been placed symbolically in environments loaded with historical, religious and cultural references. The museum entrance introduces a new site-specific installation Work in Progress (2006) created for this space, a colossal sky map painting 15 meters high whose verticality corresponds with Gehry’s spectacular atrium.
