Anselm Kiefer: Studios Tapa dura - 2013

“Anselm Kiefer: Studios allows us a glimpse into a series of Kiefer’s workspaces…actually, its much more than a glimpse, because the photographs in this 296-page book are so well executed that they really to transport you there and put you into a closer proximity with the artist’s process…Judgement of the work of art becomes besides the point, because the book allows you to simply be immersed into the process of creation, into the meditative here and now.” ~Style Zeitgeist

"To enter a painter’s studio is a rare privilege and the stuff of dreams, as if access to this intimate place were the key to the very act of creation; we are admitted into the space and virtually participate in the artistic act by our very presence, rather than simply observing from the outside. In Anselm Kiefer: Studios, Danièle Cohn reveals how Anselm Kiefer’s studios —and his organization and spatial distribution of them—are essential to his artistic activity as a painter and sculptor." ~ArtDaily.org
