Kiefer and his fabulous bookshelves!


"Zweistromland/The High Priestess"
Astrup Fearnley, Oslo

ANSELM KIEFER

If you love books as much as me,
you are bound to be infatuated
by these bookshelves.

I remember seeing 
"The High Priestess"
in Oslo in the early 90's
and ever since, Kiefer has staid with me
as the man who represents wisdom, history, 
mythology and fiction in the name of
BOOKS in ART!

They are incredibly poetic,
don't you think?
