Opening Program—Anselm Kiefer: Becoming the Sea
This event is sold out, but there will be an encore lecture for Members on October 23. Not a Member? Join today!
Join Min Jung Kim, SLAM’s Barbara B. Taylor Director and the exhibition curator, as she discusses this landmark exhibition. She will explore recurring themes in Kiefer’s work, his process, and his inspiration.
Drawing on key pieces from the Museum’s collection and important loans, Min Jung Kim will discuss how Kiefer’s monumental paintings and sculptures reflect his ongoing engagement with myth, memory, and the natural world.
