Anselm Kiefer's new installation at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam encapsulates a profound antiwar sentiment, expressed through monumental artwork spanning from 1973 to the present. The exhibition, titled 'Sag mir wo die Blumen sind,' features 25 paintings, 13 drawings, and three films, filling two of Amsterdam's largest modern art museums. Kiefer's use of materials like oxidized copper and gold leaf, coupled with army uniforms and dried flower petals, creates a striking visual narrative. This ambitious collaboration highlights a critical reflection on historical and contemporary conflicts, symbolically linked to Kiefer's antiwar stance, particularly resonant in today's socio-political climate.
Kiefer's monumental installation envelops the grand staircase of the Stedelijk Museum with 25 paintings, 13 drawings, and three films, showcasing his antiwar sentiment.
The physical scale of Kiefer's works illustrates a grave message, reminiscent of historical horrors, calling attention to the repetition of violence and conflict in our times.
