This is a monograph that delves into the studio of German contemporary artist Anselm Kiefer. Philosopher Danièle Cohn, who has maintained a long-standing relationship with Kiefer, thoughtfully explores the role of the studio as a site of creation. Visiting various workspaces—from attics and warehouses to locations in southern France and the outskirts of Paris—the book reveals how Kiefer’s studios are not merely places of labor, but central spaces where memory and thought are alive and generative.

Anselm Kiefer is one of the leading contemporary artists of postwar Germany. Through painting, sculpture, and installation, he explores complex themes such as history, mythology, memory, literature, and religion. Born in Germany in 1945, Kiefer is known for his work that confronts political and philosophical questions, particularly the treatment of memory in post-Nazi and post-Holocaust Germany. His monumental and weighty expressions often employ materials such as lead, ash, soil, and plants, earning him international acclaim. He is currently based in France.
