More than forty unique artists s books, their pages painted with gesso to mimic marble, can be found in the exciting new tome. Artists s books are an integral part of Kiefer s oeuvre; over time they have ranged in scale from the intimate to the monumental, and in materials, from lead to dried plant matter. In this selection of books, the sequences of narrative information and visual effect evoke the fragile endurance of the sacred and the spiritual through the female figures on the marbled pages.
