This monograph on Anselm Kiefer features the artist's ambitious two-part exhibition at White Cube Hoxton Square, London (June-August 2005) dedicated to the artist's fascination with Velimir Khlebnikov. A quixotic writer of esoteric verse and the founder poet of Russian Futurism, Khlebnikov pursued formulae of absurd precision with obsessive rigour in attempts to control the movement of history. Invoking the paradoxes of time made evident in the poet's work, Kiefer cast Khlebnikov's ideas as a naval battle, incorporating model ships into the turbulent surfaces of his paintings.
