About the Exhibitions
The Philadelphia Museum of Art continues its commitment to
presenting provocative contemporary art with Kiefer, Polke,
Richter, an exhibition including works by several of the
most significant painters to come of age in Germany during the
culturally charged aftermath of World War II. Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar
Polke, and Gerhard Richter have mounted vigorous reexaminations
of pictorial practice, pushing the limits of expressive possibilities
in their art. Each asks precise and poignant questions about the
relevance of history painting and explores the relationship between
painting and photography.
