Anselm Kiefer at RA

Tomorrow the Royal Academy of Arts opens Anselm Kiefer in the Main Galleries of Burlington House. "Is he our greatest living artist?" asks The Independent. Not in my book, he isn't. If what I've seen so far is anything to go by, he's just another crap contemporary artist. Shown is Kiefer's Heroic Symbol V (Heroisches Sinnbild V) from 1970. Why anyone should lash out £14 to see this tripe when there are so many excellent free exhibitions in London is beyond me. CLICK for more images. CLICK for the RA.
