Anselm Kiefer is a German sculptor and painter renowned for his monumental works that confront history, memory, mythology, and the aftermath of war. Kiefer often incorporates found and unconventional materials—such as straw, ash, lead, and clay—into his heavily textured compositions, creating dense, tactile surfaces that evoke the weight of cultural memory and the devastation of conflict.

Kiefer’s works are held in major international collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Tate Modern (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. His art is celebrated for its monumental scale, material innovation, and profound intellectual and historical resonance.
