The Art Gallery of NSW says of Anselm Kiefer that "Few contemporary artists match Kiefer's epic reach;
the provocative and paradoxical nature of his work suggests that he embraces the notion of the modern
artist who stands resolutely outside society, flaunting its histories, its taboos and its myths. By assimilating
and utilizing the conventions and traditions of history painting, he goes beyond them, mingling viewpoints
and presenting contradictory interpretations while emulating the genre's grandiloquence" AGNSW
