- For the fifth episode of Gagosian Premieres, we celebrate "Anselm Kiefer: Field of the Cloth of Gold"-a new exhibition at Gagosian, Le Bourget-with a conversation between the artist and art historian James Cuno and a debut ballet performance by Hugo Marchand and Hannah O’Neill, choreographed by Florent Melac and set to music composed by Steve Reich.
In this exhibition, across fields of golden corn and ominous skies, the artist conjures the palpable sense of treading through landscape. Completed over the past two years, the monumental paintings-whose scale reflects the actual landscapes they depict-evoke the stories of history.
In this episode of Gagosian Premieres, James Cuno, president and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust, speaks to the artist in an exclusive interview about the inextricable relationship between history and place that animates the works on view. Hugo Marchand and Hannah O’Neill-principal dancer and first soloist, respectively, at the Ballet de l’Opéra national de Paris-perform original choreography by Florent Melac in the gallery. Set to Steve Reich’s “Duet,” a contemplative composition scored for two solo violins and a string ensemble, the dance was created in direct response to Kiefer’s exhibition of monumental paintings in the vast Jean Nouvel-designed former airplane hangar.

Touching just Touching! Thanks Anselm, Steve, the Dancer and the People at Gagosian.
Kiefer brings the Archaic back to Art. Thanks for this.
I too am an artist composing music, writing poetry and painting and I feel this person. The irony in the tension of the symbiotic relationship between his intention and the paintings response is mesmerizing but not only that - it speaks as a deaf person speaks, in words it cannot hear and so it kind of makes it’s sounds according to an interpretation of reality and if that assumes a posture that could be seen as pretension so be it. The total effect is bliss.
How bizarre and wonderful and moving - how the dancers melt in and out of the paintings, wheat in the wind, to sharp and scythe-like, their bodies change colour in each from yellow and green to golden and brown.
Some years ago, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art opened its scrumptiously spaced new building, with Kiefer's many roomed and many sided works of art as it's center jewel.
I was awed, deeply intrigued, inspired (as a visual artist myself). Here, the dialogue with the viewers and society continues...I love the conjunction with dance, too.
May he long continue to create his many layered art and to express his thoughts on life and art.
This is the best "Gagosian Premieres" episode you guys have made so far! I love the interaction between the artists, the curators, the choreographers, the manuscripts and the music. It all comes together to create something uniquely beautiful that highlights the power of Kiefer's work. Can't wait to see more!
i loved it all. thanks from São Paulo, Brazil.
Wunderbar, Anselm ist ein Zauberer.
God, tis is good!!
If Julian Schnabel had talent as an artist. Innit? God, this guy is good at what he does.
J adore Hugo Marchand !
I'm never sure about Kiefer, whether it is great art, or only kitch. however that dance and music is definitely kitch! I wonder if Kiefer appreciated it...
The dancers are amazing.
God damn the evolution of painting
I'd love to know what you mean by that. Define ''God''?
Ballet starts 9:39 (about 5 minutes and 20 seconds)

I love when there is an intersection between multiple disciplines; the painting, performance (dance) poetry, music. Pure perfection!
I agree with Austin’s praise.. so elegant free and penetrating
BRAVO LARRY GAGOSIAN!
Ravishing pictures. I love gold too.
My mum painted like you 60 years ago in Italy. Did you know her in 1960 in Rome? She was Gianna Apolloni. She painted portraits the way you do with your landscapes. And I loved to dance. I danced all the house while she painted. I was happy and I studied dance then. (Now Ich spreche auch Deutsche, dass ich zur Schule gelernt und zur Uni studiert habe, aber Ich liebe besser English zu sprechen. Anyway did you know my mum, Gianna? Gianna Apolloni? She talked of the war (the second world war, and the war in Vietnam of 1960's that were two different wars but always war and orrible and I wasn't still born! I was borned on 1977 when the world wanted to be in peace all over. There were many pilgrimage to Assisi that year and When I was born I was called Clarissa...like Saint Chiara.
Hope your mom see all these pieces of nature,the last part of nature ,she and you,were blessed...r.i.p.....
@@ciprianbejan5309 Yes she probably sees it from the sky, that was why I saw it now too on the day of her departure to heaven, on the 30 th of March, and I think I saw this on that day, because she sent it to me to let me see.
Oh well I do paint too like this.
Really beautiful connection with the day of 30 March,this really prove that your mom is always with you and around you.God bless you,always!
@@ciprianbejan5309 I think so too.
Thank you so much Gagosian and than you very much Herr Kiefer. "Je ne comprends pas, je n'ai pas pu, il se peut que je n'en peux plus. Oui". It's bloody difficult isn't it?
Ok. Markus Lüpertz, wer ist er?
WOW
What unnecessary remark about Kiefer and Van Gogh vs Manet and Velasquez.
That's interesting. I may have seen it differently (the comment). I thought the point being made was that Manet and Velasquez were naturally gifted painters. Lots of painters have considered Velasquez a "painter's painter" because of that facility. Conversely, I don't see that same sort of facility in Kiefer or Van Gogh (though Van Gogh was a really gifted draftsman and mark-maker). I don't think it was to denigrate or demean the work of Van Gogh or Kiefer, just to delineate it from Manet and Velasquez.
🙏🙏😇😇 FIELDS OF GOLD
Hectares of baoney.
Great dancers
Appreciate his contribution to the art world, seems a bit tired now.
Liebe.
Yeah book takes time....painting it' s immediatly....something you represents! I love immediatly art...paintings...but books may explain art that you painted...so they go together...they should go together.
Magnificent small group of LARGE paintings by a modern master. Quite beautiful, unlike some of his sculpture, which looks like garbage or debris. I enjoy ballet and modern dance, but this video is a really handsome advertising tool and/or music video. Those who can afford Kiefer, and who are inclined to purchase, do NOT need the hard sell. Notice how the artist and the art historian interviewing him look like twin brothers.

Interesting
Oh right. Thanks. Anselm Kiefer. Again, this is an artist I have no comprehension of. He built some massive structure in the wasteland didn't he? Like, why?! What on earth is he memorialising?
Who is he?
Why are these paintings so large?
It might be wise--as you admit you do not understand--to read about this artist...and what he is memorializing with all his soul. Better yet, look at the paintings and listen again to the poem and watch the dance. Not everything worth comprehending can be stuffed into a nutshell.
@@elkiness OK. Cup of coffee first, though.
@@elkiness I mean, I do enjoy the sculpture of Beuys, but Kiefer is beyond my comprehension. He doesn’t suffer from 'pompous narcissism', apparently. Perhaps I would enjoy his art more if he did? I wonder if his Art institute of Chicago retrospective of 1987 (?) would help me? Possibly not. Quite possibly I'm too different a human being to comprehend.
Quel dommage. 😐
Наляпана суперски ...
Si quello che mi piace
Ok. 👍
can anyone say depressing? I mean we all know history, and viewed from a certain point, all histories can be horrific, not just in Germany but everywhere... since there have been humans. The laws of nature are on exhibit here. The artist's sales pitch is to exploit them, even though he's not been in an actual war.
Why the dance routines? yes beautiful moves and beautiful bodies, but why the celebration in front of these landscapes scarred by death, destruction and distopic nightmares??? once again... depressing, and I dare not to say pompous but almost want to... I wouldn't want his paintings in my wall. thank you.
History buried in his landscapes.
Anselm should make a painting of Trump and talk about the disaster!
He will have a WWIII to make more art?

When you stand in front of these large canvases they become a ''field'' indeed, and you are made both smaller as a viewer and larger as a human being.
Interesting...a lot...😘
