A major exhibition opening on 14 Feb 2025

Anselm Kiefer: Early Works will be a landmark survey of the artist’s work produced between 1969-1982. Organised in collaboration with the Hall Art Foundation and drawn from the Hall Collection, the exhibition will show approximately 45 works rarely displayed in public before.

This major exhibition will return to Anselm Kiefer's roots, featuring important early paintings, photos, prints, artist books, watercolours and mixed-media work, including less well-known, intimate pieces.
