Anselm Kiefer's 'Nymphéum' at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin

Anselm Kiefer's latest exhibition, 'Nymphéum', is showcased at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin, featuring over 20 new paintings. The artist employs a combination of richly textured paint and collage to reinterpret stories from classical mythology. The term 'nymphaeum' refers to ancient Greek and Roman shrines dedicated to nymphs. In this exhibition, Kiefer transforms the space into his own artistic nymphaeum, reflecting his ongoing exploration of myth and material over the past fifty years. He revisits and reinterprets themes to delve into human history, with nymphs symbolizing nature's dual essence, both ancient and modern, highlighting humanity's deep connection to the natural world.
