Abstract

The article focuses on the resurgence of interest in German artist Anselm Kiefer's work, which reflects themes of violence and trauma stemming from World War II. Kiefer, born in 1945, initially gained acclaim for his impactful imagery but experienced a decline in visibility over the years, particularly in North America. Recently, however, major exhibitions of his work have been held globally, coinciding with contemporary conflicts that resonate with his artistic themes. The article also notes a parallel resurgence in the work of fellow German artist Gerhard Richter, highlighting a broader cultural focus on memory and history in the art world.
