His work is on a huge scale, which is both jarring and apoplectic. At the same time, I have always felt that he is telling me a secret. There are fragilities dusted all over his work - they feel like little whispers.

April 26th through May 2nd
Anslem Kiefer is a German artist working today. I first met his work projected on the wall of my European Art: 1960's -1980's class at art school. I have been enamored ever since. Maybe it is because his work deals with a past he just cannot seem to out run, or because he idolizes objects like train tracks, olive branches, and books to carry his message from decade to decade.
