Representing a wide variety of media, from watercolours to manipulated photographs, they reflect Kiefer's ability to blend biting commentary and humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paper, December 19, 2000

By A Customer

This is an excellent piece of work for people who like a lot of content and process information. Compares favorably to the great Terry Winters one (forgive me, I can't remember the title) of about the same time. And , for me (who is not fully convinced about Kiefer), the work itself is more affecting, telling, resonant, intimate, and just plain interesting, than the very grand paintings. Highly recommended especially for those who, like me, were unable to see the show itself.
