The Museum of Modern Art
LECTURES ON ANSELM KIEFER HELD AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART
In conjunction with the exhibition ANSELM KIEFER, The Museum of Modern Art
presents two lectures focusing on the achievement of the renowned contemporary
German artist. In works ranging from the intimate to the monumental, Kiefer
has generated an iconography drawn from literary, cultural, religious, and
historical sources. The lectures, which take place in the Roy and Niuta Titus
Theater 1, focus on these complex references found in his work and discuss
various approaches to interpretation. The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, October 18, 8:30 p.m. Reading Kiefer: What We See, What We know, What It Means John Hallmark Neff Director of the Art Program, First National Bank of Chicago
Tuesday, October 25, 8:30 p.m. Anselm Kiefer: The Temptation of Myth and the Terror of History Andreas Huysen Chairman of the German Department, Columbia University
Tickets for each lecture are $8, members $7, students $5, and are
available in advance at the Museum's lobby information desk.
