Regeneration Series: Anselm Kiefer from the Hall Collection

The work of Anselm Kiefer (born 1945, Donaueschingen, Germany; lives and works in France), one of the world’s most prominent contemporary artists, launches NSU Art Museum’s Regeneration Series of exhibitions, each of which focuses on post-World War II artists whose work addresses issues of identity and the convergence of history and mythology.  Drawn from the Hall and Hall Art Foundation collections, one of the world’s largest holdings of his work, this exhibition includes more than fifty of Kiefer’s artist books, works on paper, paintings, and sculptures from 1969 to 2013.

Kiefer’s work is uncompromising in its response to the disasters of World War II and other historical traumas. Born two months before the surrender of Germany, Kiefer was among the first generation of German artists to address Nazism, the war, and the horrors of the Holocaust. Although his parents’ generation lived in denial of the traumas of the immediate past, since the beginning of his career in 1969, Kiefer has focused on coming to terms with the feeling of collective guilt and identifying the historical, psychological, and mythological conditions that contributed to the rise of Adolph Hitler and the German people’s embrace of his racist and anti-Semitic agenda. References to Northern European mythology, composer Richard Wagner’s operas, the history of German philosophy and culture, and the country’s historical predilection for Romantic landscape painting are recurring themes in Kiefer’s work. He also explores how Hitler and the Nazis used symbols and gestures to embolden and empower the German people and how these symbols and gestures have come to provoke sorrow, fear, anger, and remorse. Although Kiefer was too young to have experienced the Nazi period, he grew up amid the ruins of war, which provided fertile ground for his creativity and his lifelong questioning of what he would have done as a German citizen under Nazi rule. The epic scale and perspective of Kiefer’s work sweeps viewers into his pictorial realm, where they may find themselves searching their own consciences.

The Regeneration Series is inspired by NSU Art Museum’s renowned collection of Cobra art of the post-World War II years, a movement of avant-garde artists from Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam.

The exhibition is organized by NSU Art Museum under the direction of Bonnie Clearwater in conjunction with the Hall Art Foundation, which in 2013 opened a long-term installation of sculpture and paintings by Kiefer in a specifically repurposed 10,000-square-foot building on the campus of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art that will be on view through 2025. The simultaneous exhibitions at MASS MoCA and at NSU Art Museum together comprise the most comprehensive presentation of Kiefer works from the Hall and Hall Art Foundation collections.

An opening reception with the artist will take place on November 28, from 6 to 8 pm.

About the Hall Art Foundation

The Hall Art Foundation was founded in 2007 and makes available postwar and contemporary art works from its own collection and that of Andrew and Christine Hall for the enjoyment and education of the public.

The Hall Art Foundation operates an exhibition space on a former dairy farm in Vermont. The site consists of a converted 19th-century stone farmhouse and three barns located in the village of Reading.

The Hall Art Foundation has also formed an exhibition partnership with the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, in North Adams, Massachusetts, to present monumental outdoor sculpture, in addition to a long-term installation of sculpture and paintings by Anselm Kiefer. The Foundation also recently partnered with the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology in Oxford, England to present a series of exhibitions of contemporary and postwar art.

The Hall Art Foundation collaborates with other public institutions around the world to organize exhibitions and facilitate loans from its own collection and that of the Halls. As part of its educational activities, it has published, co-published and/or provided substantial financial support for the publication of about a dozen books relating to the exhibitions it has organized and co-organized.

Together, the Hall and Hall Art Foundation collections comprise some 5,000 works by several hundred artists including Richard Artschwager, Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Olafur Eliasson, Eric Fischl, Joerg Immendorff, Anselm Kiefer, Malcolm Morley, A. R. Penck, Julian Schnabel, Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol and Franz West.

Supported by the Hall Art Foundation, Vontobel Swiss Wealth Advisors AG, Dr. David and Linda Frankel and Sandra Muss.

Exhibitions and programs at NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale are made possible in part by a challenge grant from the David and Francie Horvitz Family Foundation. Funding is also provided by The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Nova Southeastern University, Hudson Family Foundation, Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council and Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture. NSU Art Museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.
