Anselm Kiefer Alkahest by Anselm Kiefer, Arne Ehmann, Christoph Ransmayr

About the Item

Anselm Kiefer: Alkahest by Anselm Kiefer, Arne Ehmann, and Christoph Ransmayr. Published by Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, 2012. 1st Ed exhibition hardcover with dust jacket. Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac was showing a new set of works by Anselm Kiefer. Under the title Alkahest, Kiefer has collected a series of monumental canvases, sculptures and small paintings, all related to basic processes of alchemy. In these works, the mountains become a place of translocation and dissolution of matter, focusing on the correlation between water and stone. Here, the alchemical transmutation of matter always symbolises an inner transformation. The exhibition was held in the HALLE (Vilniusstrasse 13), a venue specially designed for large-scale exhibits, and in the gallery's premises at Mirabellplatz 2 on 28 July—24 September 2011. NPT Books, a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
