I have always liked his work but this is one of the craziest things I've seen. Reminds me a bit of Richard Serra launching molten metal into the corners of a room. Very interesting indeed.
The power of Kieffer's work is in the history of it assembly. How he uncovers truth through that assemblage you can never ignore it once you come across it.
For those who don't know/understand why he's applying molten lead to his canvases, he does this as a way to remove the paint from the pre-painted canvases. If he's satisfied with the resulting works, he makes wall-hanging pieces out of them which blur the line between painting and sculpture.
Anselm Kiefer owns a vast property in southern France which has been, over years and decades, transformed into a studio/park, now opened to the public. He has made tons of money in his lucrative quest to reinvent geology and history.
No, I don't think he's overrated at all. If you have seen the work, I mean really seen the work, one can not but be overwhelmed and impressed. SEE IT IN THE FLESH, not on a screen or a book. They are master works of a high order and it's rare. I have seen work since the early 80s and he always delivers. His contemporaries in Germany also really something like Lupertz and Baselitz, Penck, Immendorf all very great artists. @@appletongallery
You are absolutely correct, They don’t even have the sense to wear Masks , Or protective Clothing in case of splash backs …This extremely TOXIC … This process was banned in Hat making , As the hat makers would go mad , Mad as a hatter .
@@daisykarnas7928 Some of the lead paintings are on canvas, but yes you'd assume any heavy pour of lead would require board. In terms of the burning risk, lead cools quite quickly relative to other metals.
I had a thought while watching his process... He uses extremely toxic materials destructive to both humans and the environment yet we find ourselves drawn to the end result. Even forcing some of us to tap deeper into our own nature and the nature of life itself. Am I the only one that sees his artistic work as an oxymoron?
et puis il se met à siffloter un petit coup car c'est un multi millionnaires cool qui nage dans la peinture pompier à grandes brassées essayant de voir par quelles nouvelles dimensions il lui serait possible de sentir quelque chose comme par exemple s'il a oui on non dépassé la mégalomanie qu'il avait déjà atteinte il y a plus de vingt années mais plus il avance, moins il ressent quoique ce soit ; c'est ainsi qu'il est inexorablement entrainé à viser de plus en plus le gigantisme innaccessible de sa propre ruine intérieure s'élargissant toile après toile, dégoulis de croutes après dégoulis de croutes. Mais attention, ce n'est pas juste de l'abstraction ni juste de la figuration, c'est beaucoup plus que cela.
@@unbroken1010 Kiefer does not wear a mask while working with the metal but all the workers do, that what I was getting at. Maybe the smoking cancels fumes from metal.
So is most of the food you crammed down your mouth but doesn't seem to stop you. So it's hip hop, and video games and I can make a very long list but it stop any of you. The fact that you take a straw and a bag to pick up a can of soda. The fact that you buy all your little Chinese food and throw out the condiments and plastic silverware you don't use. Incredibly disgusting and dangerous.
And here in the corner, let’s just put some happy little lead!

This is unbelievable work! The way of layering textures and creating alternate dimensions on a flat surface is epic.
(@2:52): My favorite part of this video -- when Kiefer whistles while he works (or plays, rather)!
great protective slippers!
*_My favorite artist, Kiefer is genius_* 👍👍👍
I would not go that far....
@@unbroken1010 😁😁😁

this guy has got being a fine artist down to a fine art

Yeah we get it
thanks!
His work is mostly powerful if not pretty.
So much oil paint is wasted underneath

Madness
Love his pants
The real art is those pants that he's wearing....
agree😂
You bored.🤷
Probably fairly warm in there, and Germans have an aversion to shorts.
😂😂😂😂😂
Kiefer my love

Great Artist. After Beuys he's the man!!!!!!!!
Isn’t he a bit overrated? All of his work looks like a wound to me. It’s not life, it’s an injury of life.

Complimenti
Legend says....This art called "Terminator T1000 "
Cool!
I want to see the final result
I always wonder if at some point in the artist becoming an artist on this type of level
When you get rich lol. No, seriously
@@alex_jermaine I'm trying being a blue chip seems impossible now..

What's the specific material of the silver hot
I like to know where I can get that cool white pants?!

It isn't Mercury.
Seems I bit too much resouces going into an end product..
whats the name of the painting in this vid?
How do you say "toxic fumes" in german?
Man sagt,, giftige Dämpfe,,
Thats got to be a very heavy canvas and I'm thinking doesn't it burn a hole through the canvas
I think he uses board not canvas

a logical extension :-)
Flowers turn to stone
When you’re a millionaire artist you can wear really big pants.
Big Boy Pants. Literally.

everything is destructive to both humans and animals - it depends on what you do with it.
There's more to life than mere matter.

Bad ! : we do not even see the finished "works"!
Is anything art..
Yes and no. Hip hop is a scam.
@@unbroken1010 in what way is hip hop specifically a scam?
Very toxic ....no bueno.....
I think I lost brain cells just watching this. So toxic!
Excellent garbage
All the workers are wearing masks...
Okay and here it's actually necessary as opposed to right now where did serves no purpose
@@unbroken1010 Kiefer does not wear a mask while working with the metal but all the workers do, that what I was getting at. Maybe the smoking cancels fumes from metal.
@@gummybeargummybear5722 probably doesnt help that its led that he's pouring
What a waste of material 🤦♀️
Disgusting and unsafe.
