Anselm Kiefer and the Philosophy of Martin Heidegger Anselm Kiefer and the Philosophy of Martin Heidegger Anselm Kiefer and the Philosophy of Martin Heidegger is a work of cultural history that situates the art works of one of the most important contemporary painters in relation to the existential, phenomenological, and hermeneutic philosophy of Heidegger. Analyzing the development of Kiefer's art in terms of subjectivity, inter­ subjectivity, history, and technology, Matthew Biro demonstrates that the artist's subjects reflect and transform the philosopher's theoretical interests and intellectual development. The works of Kiefer and Heidegger, Biro argues, present a constella­ tion of issues that unite German art and theory for most of the twentieth century. Showing the aesthetic relevance of the three stages of Heidegger's philosophical thought to Kiefer's work, this book also demonstrates the significance of Kiefer's art works for contemporary art and theory. Matthew Biro is Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He has contributed to the New German Critique, Art Criticism, and The New Art Examiner. Contemporary Artists and Their Critics Series Editor: Donald Kuspit, State Universityof New York, Stony Brook Advisory Board: Matthew Baigell, Rutgers University Lynn Gamwell, State University of New York, Binghamton Richard Hertz, Art Center C'AJllegeof Design, Pasadena Udo Kulturmann, Washington University Judith Russi Kirshner, University of Illinois, Chicago This series presents a broad range of writings on contemporary art by some of the most astute critics at work today. Combining the methods of art criticism and art history, their essays, publisbed here in antbologized form, are at once scholarly and timely, analytic and evaluative, a record and critique of art events. Books in this series are on the "cutting edge" of thinking about contemporary art. Deliber­ ately pluralistic in approach, the series represents a wide variety of approaches. Collectively, books published in this series will deal with the complexity of con­ temporary art from a wide perspective, in terms of both point of view and writing.

  • Jerusalem As Trauerarbeit on Two Paintings by Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter
    Jerusalem as Trauerarbeit 59 Chapter 3 Jerusalem as Trauerarbeit On Two Paintings by Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter Wouter Weijers In 1986, Anselm Kiefer produced a painting he entitled Jerusalem (Fig. 3.1). It is a large and heavy work measuring approximately thirteen by eighteen feet. When viewed up close, the surface is reminiscent of abstract Matter Painting. Liquid lead was applied, left to solidify and then scraped off again in places, ripping the work’s skin. When the work is viewed from a distance, a high hori- zon with a golden glow shining over its centre appears, which, partly due to the title, could be interpreted as a reference to a heavenly Jerusalem. Two metal skis are attached to the surface, which, as Fremdkörper, do not enter into any kind of structural or visual relationship with the painting Eleven years later, Gerhard Richter painted a much smaller work that, although it was also given the title Jerusalem, was of a very different order (Fig. 3.2). The painting shows us a view of a sun-lit city. But again Jerusalem is hardly recognizable because Richter has let the city dissolve in a hazy atmo- sphere, which is, in effect, the result of a painting technique using a fine, dry brush in paint that has not yet completely dried. It is the title that identifies the city. Insiders might be able to recognize the western wall of the old city in the lit-up strip just below the horizon, but otherwise all of the buildings have dis- appeared in the haze.

  • ANSELM KIEFER | BOOKS and WOODCUTS 8 February to 12 May 2019
    PRESS RELEASE Exhibition at the Jan Michalski Foundation for Writing and Literature: ANSELM KIEFER | BOOKS AND WOODCUTS 8 February to 12 May 2019 The German artist Anselm Kiefer (*1945, Donaueschingen) long hesitated between two practices, writing and painting. Although it was the latter he eventually chose, literature continues to play a preponderant role in his body of work. Through their materiality and esthetic, books were the first support for his artmaking, and writing every day in a journal has enabled the artist to reflect on his work and to engage in research that is closely connected with his thinking. In his early book production, which he began in 1968-1969, Anselm Kiefer was sizing up certain schools of art like De Stijl, Suprematism, and Minimalism. At the same time he continued with his work on German history and culture as an antidote to the trauma experienced by his and subsequent generations after the Second World War but also, more simply, as an artistic exploration of himself and his roots. Photography is often seen in the early books, but these already show the growing prevalence of drawing and watercolour, along with the appearance of materials like sand, pages clipped from magazines, hair, dried flowers, and miscellaneous objects. These unwritten volumes are designed like artist’s books, single copies, and serve at first as a place where Anselm Kiefer expressed ideas, associations and thoughts, the subsequent tomes quickly became a place for exploration in which the succession of pages made it possible to construct a narrative and situate it in time. The subjects elaborated there were then rescaled within the body of work as a whole, notably in his output of woodcuts.

  • Annual Report 2010 Kröller-Müller Museum Introduction Mission and History Foreword Board of Trustees Mission and Historical Perspective
    Annual report 2010 Kröller-Müller Museum Introduction Mission and history Foreword Board of Trustees Mission and historical perspective The Kröller-Müller Museum is a museum for the visual arts in the midst of peace, space and nature. When the museum opened its doors in 1938 its success was based upon the high quality of three factors: visual art, architecture and nature. This combination continues to define its unique character today. It is of essential importance for the museum’s future that we continue to make connections between these three elements. The museum offers visitors the opportunity to come eye-to-eye with works of art and to concentrate on the non-material side of existence. Its paradise-like setting and famous collection offer an escape from the hectic nature of daily life, while its displays and exhibitions promote an awareness of visual art’s importance in modern society. The collection has a history of almost a hundred years. The museum’s founders, Helene and Anton Kröller-Müller, were convinced early on that the collection should have an idealistic purpose and should be accessible to the public. Helene Kröller-Müller, advised by the writer and educator H.P. Bremmer and later by the entrance Kröller-Müller Museum architect and designer Henry van de Velde, cultivated an understanding of the abstract, ‘idealistic’ tendencies of the art of her time by exhibiting historical and contemporary art together. Whereas she emphasised the development of painting, in building a post-war collection, her successors have focussed upon sculpture and three-dimensional works, centred on the sculpture garden.

  • JENNIFER BARTLETT Painting the Language of Nature and Painting
    JENNIFER BARTLETT Painting The Language Of Nature And Painting October 6–November 11, 2006 Essay by Donald Kuspit It’s Really Beautiful , 2003 enamel over silkscreen grid on baked enamel, steel plate 50 x 50 centimeters (19.7 x 19.7 inches) 5 Jennifer Bartlett: Painting The Language Of Nature And Painting Donald Kuspit “The belief system of the old language of painting had collapsed,” declared Joseph Kosuth, one of the founding figures of Conceptualism or Idea Art. This supposedly happened in the sixties, when Conceptualism, among other anti-paint - ing movements, appeared on the scene. It is why Kosuth “chose language for the ‘material’ of my work because it seemed to be the only possibility with the poten - tial for being a neutral non-material.”(1) (Painting of course died before the six - ties. It was stabbed to death, the way Brutus stabbed Caesar, by Marcel Duchamp’s anti-painting Tu’m , 1918, and buried alive in Alexander Rodchenko’s Last Paintings , 1921. Painting has been mourning for itself ever since, as some critics think, although it is not clear that its corpse has begun to decompose.) So what are we to make of Jennifer Bartlett’s new works, which use both the old language of painting and the neutral non-material of language? Is she trying to renew painting, suggesting that it still has something to say that can be said in no other language? Is her work part of the post-Conceptual resurgence of painting announced by the “New Painting” exhibition held in London in 1981? Or does she intend to remind us that language is not a neutral non-material, however neutral it seems, for it communicates concepts, which are an intellectual material, and always slippery – elusive even in everyday use, which assumes understanding of them? If one didn’t, how is one to get on with the everyday business of life – life in the country, on the seashore – which is what Bartlett’s works deal with.
