Since the late 1960s, Anselm Kiefer has made art exploring the depths of human history. For his first American retrospective in 20 years, he takes the river as a metaphor for the flux of life and the passage of time. Breathtaking new landscapes join iconic works to celebrate his nearly 60-year career.
Anselm Kiefer: Becoming the Sea draws significant loans from American museums and private collections. It features a massive, site-specific installation inspired by the Mississippi and Rhine Rivers that evokes the symbolic resonance of the waterways and links explorations of time, geography, and history. A monumental presentation, the exhibition is free for all visitors.
