Anselm Kiefer: Il mistero delle cattedrali

The title of the exhibition "Il mistero delle cattedrali" was taken from the esoteric publication by Fulcanelli (published in 1926), which claimed that the Gothic cathedrals of Europe had openly displayed the hidden code of alchemy for over 700 years.

Note: Many copies from the first print run of this exhibition catalogue were defective (pages 88 and 89 were glued together), but Worldwide Books still has a limited number of good copies available.
