Anselm Kiefer: Fallen Angels. Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi

Palazzo Strozzi presents a major exhibition by Anselm Kiefer. The exhibition shows over twenty-five new and historical works that engage in a profound dialogue with the Renaissance architecture of Palazzo Strozzi, direct dialogue with the Renaissance architecture of Palazzo Strozzi, including a new work specially created for the palace’s internal courtyard and an immersive installation made in sixty canvases of various formats.
Curated by Arturo Galansino, General Director of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, Anselm Kiefer. Fallen Angel is a journey that reflects on topics such as identity, history, and philosophy.
Through painting, sculpture, installation, and photography, Kiefer’s art offers deep introspection into the human condition in a complex weaving of connections between the past, present, and future. Since his debut on the art scene in the late sixties, Anselm Kiefer has been involved in an impactful, richly layered work that explores themes of memory, myth, history, literature, and poetry. Kiefer’s work expresses a refusal of limits—not only through scale and materiality—but also through the infinite richness of resources with which he probes the depths of memory and the past.
