Anselm Kiefer: The Women

This in-depth exploration of Anselm Kiefers career illustrates how his depictions of women reinforce and challenge the artists traditional themes of identity, memory, and the interplay between history and mythology. While Kiefer is rarely associated with feminine themes or imagery, women have been a crucial aspect throughout his work since the late 1960s. Featuring stunning, colour-saturated, full-page reproductions, this book examines how the artist focusses on strong and ambivalent female figures to investigate complex ideas of identity and memory, as well as themes of femininity, myth, and historical narrative.
