KIEFER IN THE HALL

 

Anselm Kiefer is a giant of contemporary German art. His first major U.S. museum show in 20 years is now at the St. Louis Art Museum. Five huge paintings flank the central hall, with many others in the galleries. He visited St. Louis a number of years ago and some of the work refers to the Mississippi or the Rhein. We’ve going to a walk-through with a docent today.

I am a total admirer of his work. Lucky you.

Kiefer’s work is so powerful, seeing it in person must be intense. The connection to local rivers makes it even more interesting.
