Featuring paintings, watercolours, artist books, photos and woodcuts, all rarely displayed in the UK, this major exhibition takes us back to the origins of Anselm Kiefer. With 45 works made during the period 1969–82, the show explores the artist’s roots, covering an array of cultural, literary and philosophical subjects including recent German history.

Best known for his monumental paintings and installations, Anselm Kiefer has become a towering figure of post-war art, and this exhibition is a unique chance for you to see his multi-layered and poignant early works. The exhibition also features three new paintings chosen by Kiefer from his own collection.

Kiefer’s artistic techniques and materials – which include straw, lead, concrete, fire, and ash – are as expansive as the themes of his artworks, with pieces endlessly changing in their organic nature.
