Anselm Kiefer

 Last week we went to our local cinema to see a documentary film about the work of Anselm Kiefer.

I worked out that we are about the same age but there the similarity ends! In his work, Kiefer confronts his German heritage after the second world war in giant, monumental pieces using mixed media.

His studio reminds me of an aircraft hanger and he uses a bicycle to move around it!

The film 'Anselm' is a powerful insight into the way he works.
