I am against the idea of the end, that everything culminates in paradise or judgment.
Anselm Kiefer

Anselm Kiefer
Buying art is not understanding art.
Anselm Kiefer
Art is difficult. It's not entertainment. There are only a few people who can say something about art - it's very restricted. When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not. Buying art is not understanding art.
Anselm Kiefer

Anselm Kiefer
What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things. He dives into history, be it the history of mankind, the geological history of the Earth or the beginning and end of the manifest cosmos.
Anselm Kiefer
History speaks to artists. It changes the artist's thinking and is constantly reshaping it into different and unexpected images.
Anselm Kiefer
Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will.
Anselm Kiefer
When I see a new artist I give myself a lot of time to reflect and decide whether it's art or not.
Anselm Kiefer
I never see a forest that does not bear a mark or a sign of history.
Anselm Kiefer
Art is difficult. Its not entertainment.
Anselm Kiefer
Not content, but the road the artist takes, is the interesting part.
Anselm Kiefer
Life is an illusion. I am held together in the nothingness by art.
Anselm Kiefer
I might have been born into a very literal sense of chaos, but in fact that state is true of all of us.
Anselm Kiefer
I believe art has to take responsibility but it should not give up being art.
Anselm Kiefer
