Kiefer. The Women Alchemists presents a site-specific project by Anselm Kiefer at Palazzo Reale in Milan. Conceived for the Sala delle Cariatidi, the exhibition reflects on history, painting, and female memory, and forms part of the cultural program connected to the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.

The installation comprises thirty-eight large-scale canvases created in dialogue with the hall’s war-scarred interior, marked by damage from the 1943 bombing. The Sala delle Cariatidi carries a layered exhibition history, including the presentation of Guernica in 1953, and continues to serve as a charged setting for contemporary artistic interventions.
