This exhibition catalogue, the first dedicated to the books of Anselm Kiefer, illustrates their visual richness and the diversity of their themes – history, the Kabbalah, women, myths, cosmogonies. In a way a summa, which shows in the singularity of each of the books the very idea of the Book which nourishes Kiefer's reflection and imagination.
