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.
Marcel Dzama first gained fame with his drawings, but has recently
expanded his practice to encompass film and three-dimensional work,
developing an immediately recognizable language that draws from a
diverse range of references and influences, including Dada and
Marcel Duchamp. Created in close collaboration with the artist,
this publication includes work from his 2013 exhibition at David
Zwirner in London, which featured three videos inspired by the game
of chess; puppets and masks based on the characters; and drawings,
collages, dioramas, paintings and sculptural works. Dzama utilized
the architecture of the gallery itself--an eighteenth-century
Georgian townhouse--by hanging puppets from a skylight above the
five-story building's central spiral staircase and placing monitors
in the windows so videos were viewed from the street. Among the
drawings included is the large-scale, four-part "Myth, Manifestos
and Monsters," in which characters from the films line up alongside
figures from the artist's earlier repertoire. Other drawings, such
as two large-scale works executed on piano scroll, depict the
characters in poses that mirror their movements and dancing in the
films, while a series of new collages feature this imagery in more
unexpected contexts. Five small paintings depicting a lone female
terrorist seated on a bed emphasize the underlying tension between
reality and fiction that characterizes all of the works gathered
here.
