Featuring stunning, color-saturated, full-page reproductions, this book examines how the artist employs female figures to investigate complex ideas of identity and memory, as well as themes of femininity, myth, and historical narrative.\u003cbr\u003eKey pieces include Lilith, which powerfully represents feminine strength amidst darkness; Margarethe, reflecting on loss and remembrance; the Brunhilde paintings, which explore themes of heroism and sacrifice; and For Madame de Staël, honoring the legacy of the influential French intellectual. With his sculptures Women of Antiquity, Kiefer gives back presence and language to women who have fallen into oblivion and revives their thought and ideas, their vision, creative power and radicalism.\u003cbr\u003eThe book, captures Kiefer's remarkable facility with a vast array of media-- from painting, watercolor, woodcut, sculpture, installation, and photography. This book, which has been worked on in close collaboration with the Anselm Kiefer studio, offers readers a unique perspective on Kiefer's entire career and the sheer magnitude of his achievement.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePETRA GILOY-HIRTZ \u003c\/b\u003eis an independent curator for contemporary art.
