Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Drawing largely on his native Germany’s post-war identity, mythology and history, Anselm Kiefer worked as a sculptor, painter and installation artist – having grown up around the fallout of the second world war, amidst bombed buildings and shattered family ideals, Kiefer has commented that ‘ruins, for me, are the beginning...with the debris, you can construct new ideas’.

« believe art has to take responsibility
but it should not give up being art. »

Margarete is perhaps one of Kiefer’s most recognisable paintings – comprised of oil and straw on canvas, the painting is inspired by a fictional character created by Romanian poet and Holocaust survivor, Paul Celan – Margarete was an Aryan woman with blonde hair, and the straw used in the piece is a representation of this.

« Art really is something very difficult. It is difficult to make, and it is sometimes difficult for the viewer to understand. It is difficult to work out what is art and what is not art. »
Anselm Kiefer

Unflinching and raw, Kiefer’s work seeks to process and analyse past events; such an approach has led to him being linked with the Neo-Expressionist movement – further emphasised by his use of such materials as ash, clay, lead and shellac.

What is Process Art?

It refers to creative sentiment as well as artistic movement where the final product of craft and art is not the artist's principal focus. The term "process" in this art refers to art formation, gathering, the sorting, associating, collating, initiation and patterning of proceedings and happenings. It is concerned with the actual deed and the defining of actions as actual artwork; seeing it as purely human expression. Process art mostly entails inherent motivation, intentionality and rationale. This art is therefore, viewed as a creative process or journey rather than being an end product or a deliverable.
