Kiefer Van Gogh

By Anselm Kiefer

Published to accompany an exhibition at the RA from June to October, 2025, and published to coincide with Anselm Kiefer's 80th birthday, this book considers the lasting influence that Van Gogh has had on Kiefer.

Ever since winning a travel grant as a 17-year-old to travel from the Netherlands through Belgium and Paris to Arles in Van Gogh's footsteps, the contemporary master painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer has been inspired by the Dutchman's art. Van Gogh has been a profound influence upon the subjects and techniques of Kiefer's monumental paintings and sculptures, which draw on history, mythology, literature, philosophy and science. Published to coincide with Kiefer's 80th birthday in 2025, this book celebrates the power and luminous intensity of both artists' work.
