Palmostern
2007
Anselm Kiefer's *Palmsonntag* is a monumental and richly textured work that incorporates oil, emulsion, plaster, red clay, and an actual palm leaf embedded into the surface of the canvas, mounted on panel within a frame crafted by the artist himself. The layered materials create a deeply atmospheric, almost archaeological surface that evokes themes of memory, spirituality, and the passage of time. Kiefer's characteristic use of organic and earthly elements transforms the work into a powerful meditation on ritual and resurrection, referencing the religious significance of Palm Sunday.
