Photography at the Beginning Anselm Kiefer solo exhibition at the LaM in Lille, France
To close its birthday season, the Museum is presenting an exhibition devoted to one of Germany’s greatest visual artists, Anselm Kiefer. Born in Germany two months before the Nazi capitulation, Kiefer has continued to summon up memories of the Second World War in his work, in cathartic fashion.
Internationally known and recognised for his monumental pieces and work on European memory, he will be presenting over a hundred and thirty works at the LaM, bearing witness to his practice as a photographer and the question of what images reveal, essential in his body of work but scarcely touched upon in previous exhibitions.
