Heavenly Palaces is a series of sculptures consisting of 26 works in glass display cabinets and one separate work that Anselm Kiefer created and installed in the late 1980s in a historic brick factory in the German Odenwald region. These poetic and extremely fragile works appear almost transparent in the changing, reflecting lights of the space. They are made from photographs, fabric, glass fragments, clay, paper, bone, delicate cardboard, and wooden structures. Together, they create a world understood through its direct relations to cabbalistic representations, ancient myths, and Christian mysticism and gnosticism. This volume presents the series for the first time in color and black and white photographs taken by the editor.
