| book description |

A painterly dialogue with humanist values at the Dogeâ€™s Palace in Venice Can there be such a thing as a public art founded on universal values? This was the question that the German artist Anselm Kiefer (born 1945) tackled while conceiving his installation for the Dogeâ€™s Palace in Venice. Invited to participate in the celebration of the cityâ€™s 1600th anniversary, Kiefer developed a project specifically for the Chamber of the Ballot, an immense room inside the Gothic palace: a series of paintings in dialogue with the heroic values inscribed in the chamberâ€™s 33 artworks by the Italian masters Tintoretto, Andrea Vicentino and Palma the Giovane. The series, These writings, when burned, will finally cast a little light, takes its title from the writings of the Venetian philosopher Andrea Emo. This volume gathers a series of philosophical and art historical responses to Kieferâ€™s installation, featuring essays by Janne SirÃ©n, Gabriella Belli and Hans Ulrich Obrist, among others.
