Anselm Kiefer: Fallen Angels

Anselm Kiefer, Dáphnē (Dafne), 2008-2011.

Mar 22 – July 21, 2024
Piazza degli Strozzi, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy

Ever since his study with the sculptors Peter Dreher and Horst Antes, in the 1960s, Anselm Kiefer has used his craft to search the intangibles—myth, death, memory—for meaning. It’s a quest, he once said, to achieve the “representation of the incomprehensible and the non-representational.” The exhibition “Fallen Angels,” which sees Kiefer’s paintings, sculptures, and installations placed in dialogue with Palazzo Strozzi’s Renaissance marvels, is one of this year’s most anticipated shows. —Elena Clavarino
