In Florence’s Palazzo Strozzi, German king of spectacle Anselm Kiefer meets his match. His exceptional exhibition Fallen Angels begins in the vast colonnaded courtyard with archangel Michael, a huge dynamic figure with outstretched wings, swooping across an eight-metre translucent gold ground. Below, rebel angels plummet into Kiefer’s chaotic charcoal, shellac and fabric surfaces — our own dark material world, animated by the crowds thronging this inner square in the city centre.
在佛罗伦萨的斯特罗齐宫(Palazzo Strozzi),来自德国的奇观之王安塞姆•基弗(Anselm Kiefer)遇到了对手。他非同凡响的展览“堕落天使”(Fallen Angels)在列有廊柱的宽阔庭院中拉开帷幕:大天使米迦勒,一个庞大且富有动感的形象,伸展开双翼,呼啸掠过尺幅达八米的透金大地。在其下方,反叛的天使们坠落在基弗用木炭、清漆和织物汇制而成的参差画面上——这是我们自己的黑暗世界,城市中心内广场上的拥挤人群让它显得栩栩如生。
