Erotik im Fernen Osten Oder. Anselm Kiefer

Anselm Kiefer is best known for his brooding forests and somber fields encrusted with debris, and for his haunted monuments reeking of the Nazi past.
This beautifully printed volume reproduces an artist´s book created by Anselm Kiefer in 1977. On one level it is a pictorial tale of Kiefer´s voyage to Norway´s North Cape, with lyrically expressive seascapes and landscapes rendered in deep blue, violet and purple tones. As this sequence gives way to lush female nudes, the palette grows brighter, creating a virtual explosion of colour and form. This publication, which demonstrates how Kiefer has revitalized and brilliantly used the book form as a means of artistic expression, will be welcomed by the artist´s many admirers.
