Anselm Kiefer (1945 - )
Best Works:
7.3/10: Osiris and Isis (1985 - 1987) [Painting]
7.1/10: Lot's Wife (1989) [Painting]
7.4/10: Aschenblume (1983 - 1997) [Painting]
7.3/10: Ash Flower (2004) [Painting]
8.3-8.8/10+???: La Ribaute (1992 - 2022; Potentially unfinished) [Art Installation, Architecture, Sculpture, Land Art, Painting, Photography] Special Note: Although I have evaluated and viewed it as much as feasible for the time being, I have not actually rated this work yet, hence the question marks. I am noting it here as, if taken as a whole as Kiefer has suggested and many concur (and not just as a series of individually separate installations), it is almost certainly Kiefer's greatest work and is perhaps THE Art masterpiece of the late 20th - 21st century, maybe even 8.8+ ... Again, rating is a "question", an estimate open to much variance, not final
7.8/10: The Seven Heavenly Palaces 2004-2015 (2004 - 2015) [Art Installation, Sculpture, Painting]
7.3/10: Luzifer (2012 - 2023) [Painting]
7.5/10: Fall of the Angel (2022 - 2023) [Painting]

Imam Ali Shrine (Iraq)
STILL UNDER EVALUATION -- NOT RATED YET. IN THE MEANTIME, ENJOY THE VERY STRIKING VISUALS
My current (very general) thoughts on its rating are that it is perhaps around an estimated 7.5/10. There is no doubt it is among the most "profusely" beautiful sites in the world having little match in this regard, but this is so pronounced (especially in the shrine and the "crystal ceilings" leading to it), of very striking beauty, but also seems to possibly override the sense of mystery, contemplation, metaphor/symbolism, the sense of discovery, meaning, profundity, that comes with, for instance, Registan or Imam Mosque (Isfahan) or the poetic romance and reverence (and inner, fluctuating beauty) of Taj Mahal, for instance. This comment does not mean this mosque/shrine isn't remarkable for what it is and isn't meant as much a criticism in and of itself which is impressive regardless -- just what seems to me thus far in comparison to the greatest masterpieces of Islamic architecture/design. It's sheer extravagance and opulence, perhaps going overboard??? (still not sure of this...), may also override what could be a more profound, deft, "inner" or increased depth of spirituality expressed and evoked (if not on cursory glance, in terms of immediate impact -- which is nevertheless powerful and very striking -- then possibly falling short of these greater depths of expression in the longer run).

(NOTE: This tour is led by a Muslim motivational speaker. I did not choose it for this, but rather, the extensiveness of the tour (including the added square) and the excellent photography)
