“The presence of the women alchemists in Kiefer’s painting has a particular significance; it’s not just memory, remembrance, compensation for an identity that disappeared, but it is also an underscoring of the importance that women, both in his art and generally in the destinies of the world, have always had. And Kiefer is one of those artists who has always had women at the centre of his artwork”. Gabriella Belli, curator of the exhibition Kiefer. The Women Alchemists, on display in the Sala delle Cariatidi at Palazzo Reale in Milan until 27 September 2026, offers a close-up look at the origins and intentions behind works inspired by the women alchemists forgotten by history.
