Anselm Kiefer: The Heavenly Palaces: Merkabah

A reproduction of a large scale artist book by Kiefer. Born just before the collapse of the Nazi state, German artist Anselm Kiefer is obsessed with the horrific history of the Third Reich and often addresses the cultural void left by the expulsion and murder of Jews. This work, from Kiefer's Merkabah series, engages pre-kabbalistic texts derived from Merkabah mysticism, which related to the pursuit of spiritual ascendance. Essays by Klaus Gallwitz, Lisa Saltzman, and Laura Muir. First edition, like new. 10¼" - 14½".
