ANSELM KIEFER I FÜR ANDREA EMO I 2018

Five years after Anselm Kiefer’s exhibition for the inauguration of our gallery in Pantin, and following his retrospective at the Centre Pompidou in 2015/2016, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is pleased to present a new series of works by the artist in Paris.
The exhibition brings together a selection of around twenty paintings along with three sculptures, which reflect the sedimentation of memory cherished by the artist. With an unprecedented formal inventiveness, the paintings reflect the artist’s continuous interest in the process of destruction and regeneration. By pouring molten lead, Kiefer obliterates the original image and brings to life his own work in a radically iconoclastic gesture.

The exhibition is dedicated to Andrea Emo (1901-1983), an Italian philosopher whose nihilist thinking has fuelled the development of Kiefer's work.
