Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre embraces in excess of three thousand individual works. Over a period of five decades he has created a stylistically heterogeneous, complex body of work that testifies to his status as the most important living artist of our time. This long-awaited first volume of the catalogue raisonné is being re-leased on the occasion of the artist’s eightieth birthday in Febru-ary 2012.

The first volume encompasses the works Gerhard Richter assi-gned numbers 1 to 198, covering the years 1962 to 1968.
Dietmar Elger, director of the Gerhard Richter Archive at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, has spent years resear-ching and preparing this publication. The five-volume catalogue raisonné of all of Richter’s paintings and sculptures will be pu-blished over the next seven years. Aside from the richly colored illustrations, many of them full-page, it includes full technical details, information about the artist’s handwritten notes, and the provenance, bibliography, and exhibitions of each individual work. This information is supplemented by commentary, quotes, and comparison images.
