The Anselm Kiefer exhibition, titled “Die Ungeborenen” (the Unborn), will feature new installations, sculptures, paintings, collages and books in the four main exhibitions halls.

Furthermore, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac takes great pleasure to announce that a Joseph Beuys exhibition, one of the most important artists of the 20th century, will open the programme of the new space dedicated to performance art. The exhibition will include a series of works all related to his famous 1969 performance “Iphigenie”.

The performance which dealt with Goethe’s myth of Iphigenie was realized in Frankfurt in 1969 when Beuys appeared on a dark stage in a fur coat with a white horse and a pair of cymbals. It remains one of his most emblematic and visually striking art works.

The exhibition in Pantin will gather loans and works from the Beuys Estate in collaboration with Eva Beuys and Jörg Schellmann.

At the same time, the gallery in the Marais will host “Hirschdenkmäler” including important sculptures, vitrines, blackboards and drawings by Joseph Beuys on two floors. The curator Sir Norman Rosenthal, former director of the Royal Academy of Arts and great scholar of Joseph Beuys’ work, is also known for his ground-breaking exhibitions on painting like “New Spirit in Painting” (London, 1981), “Zeitgeist” (Berlin, 1982) and “Sensation” (London, 1997).

“The space presents the ideal conditions for Anselm Kiefer to produce monumental works and we are proud to unveil a new series of works. We chose to open an exhibition of important works by Joseph Beuys because of their influence on contemporary art and also because my encounter with Joseph Beuys 30 years ago was path-breaking for my career as a gallerist. Furthermore, it now has been a long time that major works of Beuys have not been exhibited in France.” (Thaddaeus Ropac)

The programme of the new gallery in Pantin will focus on major exhibitions with monumental works by established iconic artists as well as those of younger artists. The exhibition programme will be conceived by the gallery’s in-house curators as well as by invited curators, maintaining the high standards of the gallery established during the past 30 years.

Following the two opening exhibitions of Anselm Kiefer and Joseph Beuys, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Pantin will host a major group exhibition titled “Disaster – from Andy Warhol to Banks Violette” which will open in February 2013. The multimedia space will feature Erwin Wurm’s “One-minute Sculptures” followed by a new performance especially created by Terence Koh.
