ANSELM KIEFER (B. 1945)Für Paul Celan: Kenotaph 2012 titledoil, acrylic, emulsion, shellac, metal and chalk on canvas, in four parts overall: 280 by 573 by 310 cm. 110 1/4 by 225 9/16 by 122 1/16 in. This work was executed in 2012. Footnotes:Provenance Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Salzburg (AKI 1418) Private Collection, Turkey (acquired directly from the above in 2014)Acquired directly from the above by the present ownerExhibited Paris, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Anselm Kiefer Die Ungeborenen, 2012-2013A monumental, sculptural panorama, comprising three separate canvases and spanning nearly six metres in width, Für Paul Celan: Kenotaph, is among one of the largest and most virtuosic works in Anselm Kiefer's landmark series in celebration of the Romanian Jewish poet, Paul Celan. This present work, which was included in Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac 2012 exhibition, Anselm Kiefer Die Ungeborenen, boldly demonstrates the artist's preoccupation in the origin and creation of life, referencing history, poetry, and symbolic iconography. Amidst a vast, tactile field of flowers, fossilised in thick, vivid oil impasto, acrylic and shellac, forcefully projects an immense wing of an aeroplane that expands from the top of the middle canvas; a stark yet bold statement upon the aftermath of World War II. Kiefer was born during the closing months of World War II, he reflects upon Germany's post-war identity and history, grappling with the national mythology of the Third Reich. The resulting impact sees his oeuvre using art and literature, painting and sculpture to engage the complex events of history and the ancestral epics of life and death. Kiefer's boundless repertoire of imagery is paralleled only by the breadth of heavy media palpable in his work. His large-scale paintings achieve their characteristic texture through his liberal application of impastoed pigments combined with found organic matter, metal, and lead, resulting in stark, haunting images with an imposing physicality. Sculptural appendages jutting out of the canvas whether it be chairs, branches, scales, or as seen here in the wing of an aeroplane, produce an effect of trompe l'oeil seemingly sinking into the canvas or leaping out depending on the viewer's standpoint, creating a highly charged theatrical spectacle amidst the profane realities of the subject matter. The duality of Kiefer's entwinement of landscape and literature in Für Paul Celan: Kenotaph finds eloquent expression, signifying poetry as a key focus in the artist's practice. Paul Celan's work has been a constant presence in Kiefer's paintings since his adolescence, when upon he discovered the poem Todesfuge (Death Fugue). The title of this present work demonstrates an enduring epitaph to the poet and his celebrated poem Kenotaph; he lyrically scrawls a poignant line from the poem across the top of the canvas signifying his uniquely powerful observations and reverberations on Germany's past. The psychological charge of Celan's poetry vibrates through Kiefer's haunting landscape, creating a highly immersive and emotional experience for the viewer. This dialogue for Kiefer has continued to intensify in recent years, particularly in 2020 during the global Coronavirus pandemic. Indeed, the poet was the subject of the artist's 2022 exhibition at the Grand Palais, a monumental show that comprised sculptures, installations and canvases in dedication and observation to Paul Celan. From a young age, Kiefer seemed destined to become an artist: his father was an art teacher and had prophetically named his son after the nineteenth-century German painter Anselm Feuerbach. After three semesters studying law and Romance languages at university, Kiefer reverted to his childhood dream, enrolling in the School of Fine Arts at Freiburg-im-Breisgau and subsequently the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe, where he studied with Peter Dreher. Following his training, he travelled throughout Europe, where he began work for his first major series entitled Occupations, in 1969. These staged photographs depicted the artist at various sites occupied by Germany during the Second World War, wearing his father's Wehrmacht uniform and subversively imitating the Sieg Heil salute. Their bold, ironic and unflinching confrontation with the recent past set the tone for Kiefer's subsequent oeuvre, asking pertinent questions about how Germany should come to terms with its identity in the wake of tragedy.Kiefer's affinity for humanistic themes, ambitious, sculptural materials and working at a monumental scale has led to the celebration of his artworks within international museum collections and the subject of numerous public exhibitions across the globe. Für Paul Celan: Kenotaph marks the pinnacle of Kiefer's intense preoccupation with Celan's poetry, becoming a fascination that formed the single most recurrent theme throughout decades of the artist's practice that is instrumental to Kiefer's poetic aesthetic dialect. Für Paul Celan: Kenotaph, masterfully draws upon the legacy and power of poetry alongside a distinctly German tradition of contemplating a haunting, barren, landscape as a metaphor for the fundamentals of human existence. Completely fresh to the market, this work serves as exceptional, museum quality, masterpiece from one of the greatest post-war German artists today.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

WILLIAM KENTRIDGE (B. 1955)Drawing from the History of the Main Complaint 1996 signed and dated '96charcoal and pastel on paper123 by 160 cm.48 7/16 by 63 in.Footnotes:ProvenanceAnnandale Galleries, SydneyPrivate Collection, SydneyAcquired directly from the above by the present ownerLiterature Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, William Kentridge, Brussels 1998, p. 112, illustrated in colour Dan Cameron, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, J.M. Coetzee, William Kentridge, London 1999, p. 87, illustrated in colourCaptivating and poignant, Drawing for the Main Complaint is one of twenty-one large-scale drawings constituting Kentridge's film, 'History of the Main Complaint.' The present work's expansive scale and gestural execution coupled with its thematic exploration of apartheid, colonialism, memory, and time firmly establish Kentridge as a significant artist who has made a compelling contribution to contemporary art. Other drawings from the film are housed in esteemed collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, affirming the importance of the present work, and of Kentridge's stature as one of today's most notable living artists. In the present work Kentridge is rendering a striking portrayal of an austere black-and-white hospital ward with curtains drawn around a solitary bed, revealing only two discernible hints of red and blue – red in the light on the wall to the right and blue in the bowl of water to the left. These sparingly applied colours carry profound aesthetic and allegorical significance, transforming into a device imbued with powerful symbolism. Drawing lies at the core of Kentridge's artistic practice. 'I guess it all starts from charcoal drawings; you can change charcoal as quickly as you can change your mind. There's a flexibility and granularity that I really like.' (the artist in an interview with Tate, London, William Kentridge – 'Art Must Defend the Uncertain' | Artist Interview | TateShots, youtube.com/Tate, 20 April 2018) This immediacy becomes palpable in the artwork, where the velvety smudged lines and sooty surface coalesce to deliver a tactile and evocative visual experience. Each drawing represents a singular scene within the animation, changing subtly through the swift process of erasing and redrawing with each new image photographed in 16 or 35-mm film. The lingering imprints of these stages on the paper transcend their physicality, emerging as an important metaphor for the layering of memory, a central and resonant theme that permeates Kentridge's extensive body of work. Kentridge comments further on his unique and labour-intensive process, 'The technique I use is to have a sheet of paper stuck up on the studio wall and, halfway across the room, my camera, usually an old Bolex. A drawing is started on the paper, I walk across to the camera, shoot one or two frames, walk back to the paper, change the drawing (marginally), walk back to the camera, walk back to the paper, to the camera, and so on. So that each sequence as opposed to each frame of the film is a single drawing. In all, there may be twenty drawings to a film rather than the thousands one expects. It is more like making a drawing than making a film (albeit a grey, battered, and rubbed-out drawing). Once the film, editing, adding sound, music, and so on proceeds like any other.' (the artist in: C. Christov-Bakargiev, William Kentridge, Brussels 1998, pp. 61-64).Hypnotic and deeply moving, Kentridge's films go beyond politics to express a profound humanitarian perspective. They are a powerful collection of images tapping into a shared consciousness. Viewed collectively, these films evoke a lingering, almost overwhelming sadness extending beyond the confines of Johannesburg. 'History of the Main Complaint' is featured in many prominent publications and holds a pivotal place in Kentridge's filmography. Editions of the film are found in the collections of prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York and Tate London.Drawing from the Main Complaint features in the sixth film, 'History of the Main Complaint,' which spans 5 minutes and 50 seconds. It is a part of Kentridge's ongoing series of animations entitled 'Drawings for Projection,' initiated in 1989. Created in 1996 during the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's initial hearings in post-apartheid South Africa, 'History of the Main Complaint' delves into the profound social and historical wounds inflicted by apartheid. The Commission, established under Archbishop Desmond Tutu, aimed to address human rights abuses during the apartheid era through public hearings where individuals recounted personal suffering for reparation and reconciliation. Kentridge's film centres on the theme of white responsibility, portraying a 'medical' investigation into Soho Eckstein, a white property-developing magnate, and the protagonist in preceding films. As Soho lies comatose in a hospital ward, weighed down by the burdens of his past actions and those implicated by his race and class, MRIs and CAT scans visually articulate his affliction. Memories of violence against black South Africans permeate the screen, reflecting the intricate interplay between individual and collective guilt. Soho's awakening from his coma hinges on acknowledging his personal responsibility, embodying a powerful revelation of conscience within the broader narrative of societal healing and historical reckoning. Kentridge's work has been exhibited in renowned museums and galleries worldwide since the 1990s, including the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Musée du Louvre in Paris, Whitechapel Gallery in London, Louisiana Museum in Copenhagen, the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Zeitz MOCAA, and the Royal Academy of Arts in London. He has also been featured multiple times in Documenta in Kassel (2012, 2002, 1997) and the Venice Biennale (2015, 2013, 2005, 1999, and 1993).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
