Lot Essay

'By creating a new step in the evolution, Kiefer showed that architectural conventions are but hollow containers, little more than superficial stylizations by which a culture celebrates its heroes.'
(M. Rosenthal, 'Visions of the New World: 1980 to 1987', in Anselm Kiefer, Salt of the Earth, exh. cat., Fondazione Vedova, Venice, 2011).
