One of the world's most revered visual artists, Gerhard Richter
embraces many concepts in his work and continually thwarts
categorisation. In this expansive and authoritative overview, Armin
Zweite leads readers through every phase of Richter's celebrated
career including his early artistic education in East Germany and
his later prolific output in West Germany: the black and white
photo paintings, the brilliantly conceived colour charts and lush,
inscrutable grey paintings, installations with glass and mirrors,
his landscapes, portraits, and still lifes, and his monumental
abstract paintings, which broke records at auction. Also included
are selections from Richter's larger-scale thematic works, such as
Atlas, his ongoing collection of photographs and newspaper
clippings, and October 18, 1977, a series of paintings
commemorating the lives and deaths of members of a German left-wing
terrorist group. The beautiful plates sections feature exquisite
reproductions of more than 250 of his most famous works, including
Ten Large Colour-charts (1966), Annunciation after Titian (1973),
Faust (1980), Skull with Candle (1983), Funeral (1988), Strip
(2012), and Double Gray (2014). Throughout, Zweite's clear-eyed
commentary offers an expert appraisal of the breadth of Richter's
oeuvre. This six-decade monograph of Richter's work is a visually
stunning and articulate appreciation by one of the world's foremost
experts on the artist and his life.
