Joshua Chuang and Sébastien Delot
On Anselm Kiefer’s Photography

Gagosian, 976 Madison Avenue, New York
Join Gagosian for a conversation between Joshua Chuang and Sébastien Delot on Anselm Kiefer’s photography practice inside the exhibition Anselm Kiefer: Punctum at Gagosian, New York. Chuang is director of photography at the gallery and Delot is director of conservation and collections at the Musée Picasso, Paris, and in 2023 organized the first retrospective to focus on Kiefer’s use of photography. The pair will discuss the artist’s exploration of the medium’s materials, processes, and expressive potentials and how these inform his paintings and artist’s books. Returning to perennial motifs and images, the photographs in the exhibition reinforce the continuity of themes such as ruin and destruction, and growth and renewal, across Kiefer’s oeuvre.
