ガゴシアン・ギャラリーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ガゴシアン・ギャラリーInstagram)「#AnselmKiefer: “Field of the Cloth of Gold,” an exhibition of new paintings by Anselm Kiefer, is now open at Gagosian, Le Bourget. The exhibition’s title refers to the historic peace summit between King Henry VIII and King Francis I that took place five hundred years ago in a field in what is now Pas-de-Calais, France. The conference, centered around a strategic alliance between England and France, had the goal of outlawing war between Christian nations. The alliance was considered a key event in shaping Europe’s geopolitics—until it dissolved and war broke out, a year later. While Kiefer did not begin making these works with this event or title in mind, the connection became apparent and synchronous after their completion. History is one of the materials he uses and synthesizes in his work, “like clay for the sculptor or color for the painter.” Follow the link in our bio to learn more about the exhibition or to schedule an appointment. __________ #Gagosian Installation views, “Anselm Kiefer: Field of the Cloth of Gold,” Gagosian, Le Bourget, February 7–March 28, 2021.
