The Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam present their first collaborative exhibition titled "Anselm Kiefer-Sag mir wo die Blumen sind," featuring 25 works by the renowned German artist, running until June 9, 2025. This exhibition reflects Kiefer's profound connections to Vincent van Gogh, intertwining themes of history, memory, and time. Highlighted works include a massive installation that creatively merges various materials to explore life's cycles and Kiefer's recurring motif of historical weight, especially in relation to poignant moments in history, such as Germany in 1933.
Kiefer highlights one line from the song in particular—"When will we ever learn?"—lamenting how history seems doomed to repeat itself and drawing parallels with contemporary events.
This exhibition represents a unique collaboration between the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum, showcasing 25 prominent works that reflect Kiefer's connections to history, memory, and Van Gogh.
