Anselm Kiefer has been honoured with the prestigious Antonio Feltrinelli International Prize for the Arts. Presented by the Accademia dei Lincei since 1950, this accolade celebrates individuals who have excelled in the scientific or humanistic fields, both at national and international levels.

Recognised for his remarkable contributions to painting, Kiefer’s work is characterised by profound intellectual and emotional complexity. Drawing upon history, mythology, literature, politics and philosophy, his large-scale works resonate with the notion of history as a continuous cycle. Worth €100,000, this prize reflects the artist’s prolific and unwavering commitment to arts.
