4/5 Anselm Kiefer: Remembering the Future

First broadcast: Nov 2014.
There is no-one quite like Anselm Kiefer. Having achieved fame and notoriety in equal measure in the 1980s, he has become one of the world's most singular and successful artists. Working with themes of history, memory and mythology, Kiefer produces work that is consistently controversial, and monumental in its scale and ambition.
In this imagine...Alan Yentob joins the artist at his studios in France and Germany as he prepares for a retrospective at the Royal Academy. In a series of frank interviews set against the backdrop of his awe-inspiring studios, Kiefer discusses the impact of his most significant pieces, installs a selection of new work, and explains why he is as excited and driven by his practice now, at the age of 69, as he was when he began.

The thing which impresses me with Kiefer is the sheer amount of money involved. Enough to make his own little world.

[@jenns.5791]

to have the space to create a world like that. amazing.

[@elflaco6654]

I've loved Anselm Kiefer's work since I first saw it in the 80's. Programs like this make you tube worth watching. What a gem to see him working and sharing his art w/ us that are in awe of the greatest living artist today. Many Thanks

@Killian Jayden thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

must be nice to have enough money to create art.........................................

[@earinsound]

In part one he says only he does the artwork, then in this part his assistant is seen putting silver leaf on a painting. Ha. There’s no way he could accomplish 1% of his work without assistance

[@RaoulConstantine]

earinsound what is the conductor without the orchestra, or, what is the orchestra without it’s conductor?

[@jurgenczwienk1960]

So what

[@chompers11]

@@jurgenczwienk1960 so its messed up to not acknowledge their work in his own? Think about it a little

[@johnjones3714]

Accomplished artists typically have a staff who implement the work. This has been true for hundreds of years.
