Vincent van Gogh has had an enduring influence on Anselm Kiefer. See work by both artists side by side next summer.
In 1890 Vincent van Gogh paints his final works.
Seventy-two years later a seventeen-year-old Anselm Kiefer receives a travel grant to follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh, starting in the Netherlands, through to Belgium, Paris and Arles in the south of France.
Turning 80 in 2025, Kiefer has been inspired by Van Gogh’s work throughout his 60-year career. The pioneer of Post-Impressionism has informed the subjects and techniques of Kiefer’s monumental paintings and sculptures which draw on history, mythology, literature, philosophy and science.
This exhibition is the first to consider the lasting influence that Van Gogh has had on Kiefer. It will feature works by both artists, including new pieces by Kiefer which haven’t been shown before.
Exhibition developed in close collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
Our Friends preview days take place 25 June, 10am–6pm, 26 June, 10am–6pm, and 27 June, 10am–9pm.
