Description: THE HIGH PRIESTESS Photographer/Artist: Anselm Kiefer Publisher/Year/Edition: Thames & Hudson /London /1989 / First Edition Description: Large Folio. Inscribed and dated in the year of publication by Anselm Kiefer to a noted film director and cinematographer, Peter Gidal. An as new hardback First Edition in an AS NEW dust jacket. Folio. 226 (1) pps. With 302 illustrations, 253 in color and architectural diagram of the sculpture. "The High Priestess" is one of Anselm Kiefer's most ambitious works. It consists of two steel bookcases filled with gigantic lead books. Some of the books are empty. Others contain photographs, images of contemporary life seen both from the air and close-up. The overall effect is of a work which relates and resonates symbolically with the rest of Kiefer's oeuvre. Because of their great weight these books are unlikely to be read by many people. This 'book of the sculpture' was created to reproduce a cross-section of the pages from the books together with a commentary. Zweite's critical, analytic study is accompanied by a wordless introduction by the artist himself in the form of a sequence of photographs.
