The mission of Eschaton—Anselm Kiefer Foundation is to advance the artistic legacy of its founder, Anselm Kiefer, by maintaining and cataloguing his archive and by preserving La Ribaute, his studio-estate in Barjac, France, for future generations. Eschaton fosters the appreciation and understanding of contemporary art by organizing and supporting exhibitions, facilitating research and publication projects, and by presenting Kiefer’s artworks as well as works by other artists to the public at La Ribaute. The Foundation’s name, Eschaton, refers to life’s cyclical nature and the concept that creation and rebirth arise from ruins and are enabled through demise and destruction, a significant leitmotif in Anselm Kiefer’s artistic practice.
