As the final days of the war between Heaven and Hell play out on earth, Holly peters is brought back to life as 'The High Priestess'. A woman of immense power but surrounded by secrets. Remaking the 2015 small press comic book, 'The High Priestess' is a reboot of the unfinished series that'll build upon and finally conclude the heart-breaking tale.

In 1974 Anselm Kiefer produced Erotik im Fernen Osten oder: Transition from Cool to Warm, a book of watercolors. Thirty years later, Gagosian Gallery’s newest catalogue marks Kiefer’s return to the medium, with works made between 2012 and 2015. More than forty unique artists’s books, their pages painted with gesso to mimic marble, can be found in the exciting new tome. Artists’s books are an integral part of Kiefer’s oeuvre; over time they have ranged in scale from the intimate to the monumental, and in materials, from lead to dried plant matter. In this selection of books, the sequences of narrative information and visual effect evoke the fragile endurance of the sacred and the spiritual through the female figures on the marbled pages.

Anselm Kiefer is one of the most interesting - if controversial - artists in the world today. For years, he has probed both the myths and events that have shaped German history, and has offered, through his majestic paintings and lyrical artist's books, his thought-provoking insights into their relationship and significance. In Anselm Kiefer: The Psychology of "After the Catastrophe", Rafael Lopez-Pedraza presents a carefully woven and challenging new reflection on Kiefer's art, addressing the central issues of myth and history in Kiefer's work through the perspective of C.G. Jung's work, and in particular Jung's essay "After the Catastrophe". Lopez-Pedraza unfolds the nature of Kiefer's complex creativity, demonstrating how depth psychology may help us to better understand Kiefer's art and ideas. To illustrate his argument, Lopez-Pedraza uses a variety of images from Kiefer's richly productive career of over three decades, thus providing a comprehensive overview of Kiefer's entire creative expression.

Danièle Cohn, who has worked alongside Anselm Kiefer for many years, explains the central role the artist’s studios play in his artistic process. To enter a painter’s atelier is a rare privilege and the stuff of dreams, as if access to this intimate place were the key to the very act of creation. Entering an atelier allows us to see, in situ, the creative process in action, in the present; we are admitted into the space and virtually participate in the artistic act by our very presence, rather than simply observing from the outside. In this monograph, Danièle Cohn reveals how Anselm Kiefer’s ateliers—and his organization and spatial distribution of them—are essential to his artistic activity as a painter and sculptor. While they serve as production areas and storage spaces, artists’ studios are also physical representations of the mind and memory of an artist, where living and working spaces combine. This book takes the reader on an exploration through Kiefer’s various ateliers and examines the crucial role they have in the creation of his works. From the attic of a former school or a disused brickyard in Germany, via an atelier in the rural surroundings in the south of France or the urban setting of the Marais in Paris, to his current studio on the outskirts of the French capital, we discover how Anselm Kiefer’s work spaces have impacted his art.

The first site-specific outdoor public sculpture ever to be commissioned for the United States from Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) was unveiled in 2019 at the top of Rockefeller Center's Channel Gardens, facing Fifth Avenue. Titled 'Uraeus', the work consists of a gigantic open book with eagle's wings 30 feet in span, both made of lead, on top of a 20-foot-tall lead-clad stainless steel column. Clustered around the base of the column are further outsize lead books, while a large snake coils up the column. Lead is one of the artist's preferred materials for its soft, fluid properties traditionally associated with alchemical transformation, especially its second stage: dissolution. In Kiefer's mind alchemy is a symbol for the artist you have to destroy and then recreate. Uraeus extends his vocabulary of striking mythic forms, presented at an arresting new scale. It explores longtime motifs in his work that, in this context and contemporary moment, resonate in powerful new ways. Kiefer is the most prominent German artist of the generation born in or shortly after World War II, a figure of international standing who was recently awarded the J. Paul Getty Medal (2017).
