Anselm Kiefer for Velimir Khlebnikov. 30th of May until 3rd of September 2017, The State Herimitage Museum, Russia

On 30th May 2017, for the very first time in Russia, the State Hermitage Museum inaugurates a solo exhibition of one of the most famous contemporary artist, Anselm Kiefer. Located in the Nicholas Hall of the Winter Palace, the exhibition is organized by the State Hermitage Museum in close collaboration with the artist and in cooperation with Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, London/Paris/Salzburg. Anselm Kiefer dedicated the exhibition to the great Russian poet Velimir Khlebnikov.  Anselm Kiefer is an artist whose work demonstrates a deep and diverse intellectual reflection. In his oeuvre he faces the themes of history, religion, literature, philosophy as well as the question of memory and heritage. One of the main source of inspiration for Kiefer is world culture in its widest perspective: German history, religious mysticism, antiquity, and Mesopotamian mythology. hs art service austria conducted the entire exhibition construction and sent a specialised team to St. Petersburg to build a white cube as a museum in the museum in the Winter Palace of the State Herimitage in St. Petersburg.
