Anselm Kiefer: Alkahest
- Used Book in Good Condition
Among the many artists who have broached the motifs and themes of alchemy, Anselm Kiefer (born 1945) is pre-eminent in his concern with the transformation of earthly elements such as oil, straw, lead, mercury, stone, metal, rust and mud. Alkahest documents the artistâ€™s latest series of both monumental and smaller paintings, as well as sculptures, which explore the titular alchemical term. Kiefer defines the term and his uses of it thus: â€œâ€™Alkahestâ€™ signifies that there is a solution which can dilute any substance. Dilution is of course something very important for me. I often lay pictures on the floor and pour water over them, or pour on water that has paint dissolved in it. So Iâ€™m exposing them to dilution.â€ Alkahest features color reproductions of the series as well as a poem by Christopher Ransmayr.
