- The restoration of a monumental Kiefer, which is shown in this video report, is a fine example of public-private collaboration. The collectors Mr and Mrs De Heus-Zomer have given the painting entitled 'Wohin wir uns wenden im Gewitter der Rosen, ist die Nacht mit Dornen erhellt' in perpetual loan to Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The museum will use its expertise for the restoration and conservation of this magnificent canvas.
Anselm Kiefer painted this work, which is made up of three parts, in 1998. In May 2013, it was restored and mainly consolidated in close cooperation with the Redivivus restoration studio of Gwendolyn Boevé-Jones. Kiefer did not, in fact, work only in paint, but mixed this with sand, attached metal wires and barbed wires to the canvas and even included dried flowers. This resulted in a visually rich, heavy and complex whole, which is at the same time very vulnerable because of the variety of materials.
The restoration took place under the auspices of the museum and in good consultation with the owners Henk and Victoria de Heus-Zomer. The process took place behind closed doors, but now this video reveals all to the public.

In one interview, Kiefer found a curator's agony in transporting his work amusing. He laughed as he referred to the debris the curator had collected in a cigar box after installation. I think that it behooves the artist, Kiefer in this case, to determine what state of his work remains faithful to his intentions considering the materials he chose; material which he knew beforehand would suffer a deteriorating transformation. Buyers of his work should also be completely aware of this, of course.
My, my, my, my, my... (to quote the character Deputy U.S. Marshal Gerard in the movie "The Fugitive" when he surveys the extensive damage of the derailed train)
Looking at the Kiefer, why didn't he throw some salt, sugar and oregano into the painting to really create a challenge? // I have to admit that watching these expert restorers stabilize this multi-panel masterpiece/monster is enormously fascinating. Especially their readiness to introduce new hardware and supportive backing.
His work was never meant to be archival ....it's going to be a real challenge for anyone who owns his work
I am an artist. I love art. I respect artists and their work.
My dad and brothers were farmers and highly intelligent, worked hard, and took their work and life seriously. But they were not narcissistic pseudo intellectuals who behaved as though they were just too important for the world at large.
It is amazing that an artist, with the experience of Anshelm Kiefer, can not make a framework for his paintings that lasts, even for a few years. It is so conspicuous that I only can ask if they are cooperating, Kiefer and the people who restore his works.
You did not understand keifer
Fantastik
It's massively ironic; the work of 'restoring' Kiefer's artworks. This suggests very few people in the 'business of art' actually understand his creative process.
Restoration is in this case only done to keep the financial value of Kiefer's pieces as long as possible... it has nothing to do with keeping their artistic value. In fact it goes against it, as time, history and aging are at the core of Kiefer's work.
The paintings are about decay. So let them decay... Don't worry about it.
Interesting..
WHAT'S THE POINT OF RESTORING SOMETHING THAT WAS CLEARLY CREATED WITH THE ABILITY TO CHANGE, CREATED TO AGE WITH TIME, SAME AS EVERYTHING THAT IS ALIVE ... DECAY WILL ONLY MAKE IT MORE DRAMATIC ... IT WILL ONLY MAKE IT BETTER..!!

When did Anselm Kiefer passed away? if he didn't, why can't museum work with artist on restoration?
that's my point, they struggling with all those questions about the details of his artwork. why not just ask him?
Erika Larskaya Well, I think that he would say "Don't restore it". According to him a work of art is a process, it has to change all the time.
+Erika Larskaya I think that is somewhat of a problem with museums. They are concerned about keeping things the way things were when the artwork was created, and not even trying or attempting to let things be, the way things are as they are. The documentary is a perfect example of the museum's ignorance of the spirit of his Keifer's art.
He is alive and well from what I gather.
did she really say that she was the first person to have seen the rose @ 10.07!? how elitarian towards the plebs of the museum visitors. We need more science in restoration instead of wannabe artists
they could apply the same formula and work on musical instruments perhaps.
this seems a bit aggrandized and unreal almost.
Wow. Does that look fun. Just get a vacuum cleaner.
oh when that woman says "wire", I wish she would work on my wire, lmao
Yes his work is monumental, some quite good, but so much is just over rated, dependent on huge expenses like giant photographs, a storehouse of materials, outside help, the luxury of buildings and female restorers,,, and long philosophical diatribes.... Repetitive. Do you think he gives a shit about restoring this crap?? Why would anyone want to have this restored?He's fortunate to have an army of patrons and possibly government subsidized folks to do this.
Who was the moron that thought this was a good choice of music??? Just awful crap!!! It actually makes it hard to listen to this. His work is astounding, you don't need to add stupid shit it's unnecessary.
Nice garbage
Nice garbage comment.
Yes and your a nice garbage person.
Thanks. (;
Kiefer is a good artist but is a greedy. Those huge works refer to other holistic conceptions.
Artists? Fucking laughable.
