Gerhard Richter (*1932) is an exceptional personality - not because
his pictures are world famous, but because he has demonstrated a
new approach to painting. His art masterfully moves between
abstraction and representation, sensuousness and denial - ambiv
alent attitudes which he demonstrated even in his early work.
Gerhard Richter's oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract
and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest
interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact p
icture of reality. Richter is a sceptical artist who questions the
reality of his art even when the prime subject of his paintings is
the tangible. This applies in particular to his door, curtain and
window pictures of the 1960s, which form the central foc us of this
volume. They stage a playful examination of the illusory nature of
art, which always questions what painting shows or conceals. This
lavishly appointed volume is published to mark the artist's 85th
birthday.
