“Where have all the flowers gone” (Sag mir wo die Blumen sind) – For the first time in their history, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and the Van Gogh Museum are joining forces to stage a major exhibition of one of the most important artists of our time: Anselm Kiefer.
At the Van Gogh Museum, key works by Vincent van Gogh are combined with that of Kiefer. At the Stedelijk, all the Kiefers from the Stedelijk’s collection are on display together for the first time.

Anselm | 3D Documentary film by Wim Wenders
January 2024
Anselm is a 2023 3D documentary film directed by Wim Wenders, chronicling the art of German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer. The film had its world premiere at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2023 as a special screening, where it competed for the L’Œil d’or.
Described as “immersive”, the film illuminates Kiefer’s work, life journey, inspiration, creative process, and the artist’s fascination with myth and history. The aim is to “blur” the boundary between film and painting.
