There is special border, the border between art and life that often shifts deceptively. Yet, without this border, there is not art. -Anselm Kiefer
Currently on view at the Gagosian Gallery in Chelsea is “Next Year in Jerusalem” by Anselm Kiefer the artist’s first exhibition in New York since 2002. This has exhibition is in the largest of the Gagosian galleries and has been met with acclaim in the critical press. The exhibition blends film making, performance and photography as well as history and religious thought into powerful installations with a message. The works focus on Occupations, where Kiefer transforms a series of photographs from 1969 where the artist appears making the Hitlergruß in front of a significant European cultural monument.
