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.
在佛羅倫薩的斯特羅齊宮(Palazzo Strozzi),來自德國的奇觀之王安塞姆?基弗(Anselm Kiefer)遇到了對手。他非同凡響的展覽“墮落天使”(Fallen Angels)在列有廊柱的寬闊庭院中拉開帷幕:大天使米迦勒,一個龐大且富有動感的形象,伸展開雙翼,呼嘯掠過尺幅達八米的透金大地。在其下方,反叛的天使們墜落在基弗用木炭、清漆和織物匯制而成的參差畫面上——這是我們自己的黑暗世界,城市中心內廣場上的擁擠人群讓它顯得栩栩如生。
