The exhibition is dedicated to one of the greatest masters of the 20th and 21st century art, Anselm Kiefer, allowing to the visitor a direct contact with the art of the German artist thorough new and historical works that engage in a profound dialogue with the Renaissance architecture of Palazzo Strozzi, including a new work especially created for the palace’s internal courtyard.

The exhibit is a journey through allegories, figures and forms that reflects on topics such as identity, history, and philosophy. Through painting, sculpture, installation and photography, Kiefer’s art offers deep introspection into the human condition, in a complex weaving of connections between the past, present and future. Since his debut on the art scene in the late sixties, Anselm Kiefer is involved in an impactful, richly-layered work that explore themes of memory, myth, history, literature, and poetry. Every work of Kiefer expresses a refusal of limits - not only through scale and materiality - but also through the infinite richness of resources with which he probes the depths of memory and the past.
