This highly anticipated catalogue, accompanying Gerhard Richter’s
first exhibition with David Zwirner, presents Richter’s last
paintings along with his recent explorations in drawing, printing,
and sculpture. ---------- “[His last paintings] can feel almost
like exquisite texts to be read. . . . Their freshness and
spontaneity feels like a new beginning.” — Roberta Smith, The
New York Times ----------- Known for his abstract and realist
paintings, Gerhard Richter has pursued a diverse and influential
practice characterized by a decades-long commitment to the medium
and its formal and conceptual possibilities. This remarkable book
celebrates the breadth of Richter’s newest bodies of work and
archives a historical moment in the artist’s career. Full-color
plates and installation views showcase a selection of the
artist’s final works on canvas—made just before he announced
his retirement from oil painting in 2017—alongside an expansive
suite of new drawings made with ink, graphite, and colored pencil
on paper, a remarkable series of chromatic inkjet prints titled
mood, and a stunning glass sculpture that debuted at the exhibition
in New York. A newly commissioned essay by Dieter Schwarz, one of
the foremost experts on Richter’s oeuvre, illustrates the
artist’s path toward his newest bodies of work, revealing the
creative process behind his iconic practice.
