The German artist Anselm Kiefer turns 80 this year and several shows will mark the occasion. A survey of early works at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford this month will be followed in March by an exhibition spread across the Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. The former will look at the influence of Vincent van Gogh on Kiefer's work, while the latter will debut a new 24m-long installation.
Below, the Van Gogh Museum director Emilie Gordenker and her fellow curator Edwin Becker have joined forces with the Stedelijk curator Leontine Coelewij to select five key books to help us understand more about Kiefer and his work.

Summary of Anselm Kiefer
Anselm Kiefer's monumental, often confrontational canvases were groundbreaking at a time when painting was considered all but dead as a medium. The artist is most known for his subject matter dealing with German history and myth, particularly as it relates to the Holocaust. These works forced his contemporaries to deal with Germany's past in an era when acknowledgment of Nazism was taboo. Kiefer incorporates heavy impasto and uncommon materials into his pieces, such as lead, glass shards, dried flowers, and strands of hay, many of which reference various aspects of history and myth, German and otherwise. Influenced by his contemporaries Joseph Beuys and Georg Baselitz, as well as by postwar tendencies in Abstract Expressionism and Conceptual art, Kiefer is considered part of the Neo-Expressionist movement, which diverged from Minimalism and abstraction to develop new representational and symbolic languages.
