Kiefer and van Gogh: The exciting exhibition in Amsterdam!

Amsterdam, Niederlande - The celebrated contemporary artist Anselm Kiefer will present his new monumental installation as part of a groundbreaking double exhibition in Amsterdam. This exhibition, which will be shown in the Van Gogh Museum and neighboring Stedelijk Museum from March 7 to June 9, 2025, marks a significant moment in Kiefer's impressive career, as it addresses almost his close artistic connection to Vincent van Gogh and the Netherlands. As the Kleine Zeitung , a new installation with the title "Say to me where the flowers are" will be seen at the moment, becomes. This installation is a 24-meter long, picturesque work that will decorate the museum's historic staircase.

Influence of van Gogh and exciting new developments

The van Gogh Museum emphasizes Kiefer's long -standing relationship with van Gogh - a connection that began in the early years of Kiefers when he made a journey along the traces of the Dutch master in 1963. In addition to seven decisive works by Van Gogh, the exhibition will also show unpublished paintings and earlier drawings of Kiefer's. Emilie Gordenker, director of the van Gogh Museum, said: "Kiefer has always dealt with Van Gogh's work. Sometimes inspiration is almost literally." In addition to the impressive new installation, a second work with the title "Rising, rising, sinking, sinking", which is made of photographs and lead, is presented in the Stedelijk Museum, a material that is common in Kiefer's work. This installation addresses the severe burden of human history and is supplemented by films about Anselm Kiefer, including a little known film, which he made in Warsaw in 1989. According to Rein Wolfs, director of the Stedelijk Museum, the exhibition will offer an impressive opportunity for visitors to experience both Kiefer's iconic works of the 1980s and his latest creations.

The two museums plan to show a comprehensive picture of Kiefers that constantly evolves and reflects the influences of great masters like van Gogh. The exhibition will later also be shown in the Royal Academy of Arts in London, another important step in Kiefer's illustrated artistic path, which is repeatedly embedded in the debate about German history and identity. This unique merging of art and history is likely to captivate both art lovers and the general public.
