Anselm Kiefer, Daniel Arasse Collected Works.

Daniel Arasse (Author) This monograph explores the multifaceted dimensions of Anselm Kiefer's oeuvre through a thematic and chronological approach. By examining Kiefer's influences, style, and recurring motifs, author Daniel Arasse highlights his rich education and philosophical and artistic practice, while also demonstrating a unity and continuity in his work that transcends linear notions of time. Through six major chapters, this book delves into the central themes and developments of Kiefer's paintings. Nordic and Germanic mythology, Jewish mysticism, the cosmos, legends of the ancient world, the connection between heaven and earth, humans and gods, transformation, and the role of the human body—all these are at the heart of Kiefer's thought. Furthermore, five supplementary chapters have been inserted between the main text, examining Kiefer's favorite motifs and how they have transformed over time and through changes in theme, shedding new light on the materials and themes of his art.

There is a slight crease at the top of the cover and some creasing at the top of the spine, but the text itself is in good condition with no writing or creases.
