Anselm Kiefer: Des Malers Atelier - FREE

The German painter Anselm Kiefer, born in 1945, presents a solo exhibition of recent paintings. The show takes its title, Des Malers Atelier, from the German for 'The Painter's Studio'. One of the leading artists of the post-war era, Kiefer came to prominence by confronting Germany's Nazi past at a time when it was still largely taboo. His vast, heavily encrusted canvases often incorporate lead, straw, ash and dried plants, and draw on myth, the poetry of Paul Celan and Jewish mysticism.
