The largest exhibition in Asia to date renowned German artist Anselm Kiefer, staged within the rarely accessible Daidokoro and Okitodokoro building at Nijo Castle, Kyoto
Spanning new and recent paintings and sculptures by Anselm Kiefer, the exhibition opens a dialogue between the German artist’s work and the arts, crafts and architecture of the castle and of the city of Kyoto. In Kiefer’s words: ‘The utilitarian use of gold as a source of reflected illumination at Nijo Castle is a revelation to me. The confluence of aesthetics and political power on this site and the historical cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth echoes my own consciousness.’
Curated by Fumio Nanjo, former curator of the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo.
