Anselm Kiefer, Bilderstreit; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar

I went to Museum Voorlinden to write a review about Anselm Kiefer’s Bilderstreit. Click here to read the review in VLR (in Dutch).

If you can afford it, do take a look at the exhibition, as i personally think it is by no means all gold that glitters.

I leave you here just with a few impressions without comment, as i’ve already written extensively in VLR about the exhibition.

Full Moon; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar

Francis Alÿs

If you are visiting Museum Voorlinden to see the rather bombastic Anselm Kiefer exhibition, you might need some relief.

Jan Sluijters
Enrico Castellani

Full Moon gives you just that.

Yves Klein

It is the perfect white cube show of modern, postmodern and post-postmodern art.

Ugo Rondinone
Hans-Peter Feldmann

In this museum works of art that were once revolutionary have become neutralised aesthetic, value-free objects, while today’s art doesn’t get the chance anymore to be revolutionary.

Massimo Bartolini

On the other hand, the art is there and it is well exposed and well lit in an environment that will give you some peace of mind.

Turi Simeti
Michaël Borremans
Mark Manders

Like in any large collection there are the must-have artists like Damien Hirst, but also the must-have artists who make or have made more interesting work.

Olaf Holzapfel

Everyone will have their own favourites in the collection.

Ai Weiwei
Giorgio Morandi

It would be easy to say that these are images of the highlights of the show, but that would be pretentious, as they are of course personal favourites.

Marcel Broodthaers

Full Moon is very much a side show, so it is probably not worth the ticket price to see it if you’re not planning on going to the Kiefer exhibition.

Marcel Broodthaers
René Magritte

As for Kiefer, i’ll report on my doubts later in Villla La Repubblica.
