Anselm Kiefer: Early Works

A landmark exhibition of one of the world's most important living artists.

Featuring paintings, watercolours, artist books, photos and woodcuts, all rarely displayed in the UK, this major exhibition takes us back to the origins of Anselm Kiefer.

With 45 works made during the period 1969–82, Anselm Kiefer: Early Works explores the artist’s roots, covering an array of cultural, literary and philosophical subjects including recent German history.

As well as including less well-known, intimate pieces, the exhibition also features three new paintings chosen by Kiefer from his own collection.

Best known for his monumental paintings and installations, Anselm Kiefer has become a towering figure of post-war art, and this exhibition is a unique chance for you to see his multi-layered and poignant early works.
