🇬🇧 Kiefer / Van Gogh: A Cosmic Dialogue Across Time 🌌🌻
At the Royal Academy of Arts, two artistic giants—Vincent van Gogh and Anselm Kiefer—collide in a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition that traces how Van Gogh’s blazing sunflowers and starry nights ignited Kiefer’s epic, earth-shattering creations. ✨ The Backstory: In 1963, young Kiefer won the Jean Walter Prize, funding a pilgrimage to Arles, Amsterdam, and beyond—retracing Van Gogh’s footsteps. For 60+ years, he’s wrestled with Vincent’s legacy, weaving myth, history, and raw emotion into his own apocalyptic landscapes. 🎨 Unmissable Masterpieces: • Van Gogh’s "L’Arlésienne" (1890) – A portrait crackling with psychological depth. • "Field with Irises near Arles" (1888) – Swirling blues and yellows that practically vibrate. • Kiefer’s "Walther von der Vogelweide" (2014) – A charred, poetic homage to Van Gogh’s nature-worship. 📅 28 Jun – 26 Oct 2025 | £19 (Free for under-16s!) 📍 Burlington House, Piccadilly, W1J 0BD Pro Tip: Friday late openings (till 9pm) = quieter galleries + moody lighting.
