  • Summary

    The material practices of responsibility through visual art are demonstrated in this chapter, focusing on Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter. As a mode of taking responsibility for restitution through practice, I analyse the way two of their art works resist or collaborate with their processes of creation and places of viewing. Interleaving my research interludes to Munich into the text, I contend that beholding an Anselm Kiefer sculpture (Sternenfall) in MONA in Tasmania in Australia opens up the artwork to a reassessment of what it might mean to take responsibility for restitution in Australia. I argue that beholding a copy of a Gerhard Richter painting (Birkenau) in the Reichstag in Berlin means taking responsibility for restitution is staged on the threshold to the German Parliament.
