Kiefer - at The White Cube

This time last year I was locked in a secret warehouse in Hackney wearing a boiler suit, rubber gloves and a face mask - rolling out sheets of lead and stripping paper. 
It was a load of fun really but all in the aid of Anselm Kiefer's latest works. There we were working away like slaves whilst the artist rested himself in America. It is funny how some artists choose to work.

Anyway as it turns out the exhibition we were working for is now on at The White Cube in Hoxton Square.  I missed the private view so dragged Tim along yesterday to see how the work turned out. It isn't all of it... Not our work but it was really good to finally see the artists latest vision. 
I personally think it is beautiful and the metal work really interesting.
It is exciting being part of that kind of process.

THE WAVES OF THE SEA AND LOVE
is an eclectic mix of works but obviously linked. 
His work is calming and nostalgic. 
Like the sea

I am not going to write a critic... you should go and see for yourself. 
Anyway a few pictures :
