Gerhard Richter: Painting After All

A lavishly illustrated monograph that spans the entire career of Gerhard Richter, one of the most celebrated contemporary artists

Spans the contemporary German artist's six-decade career. . . . [A] stirring exhibition in [its] own right.New York Times

[A] weighty catalogue... illuminat[es] some less-visited corners of Richter's oeuvre.New York Review of Books 

Over the course of his acclaimed 60-year career, Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) has employed both representation and abstraction as a means of reckoning with the legacy, collective memory, and national sensibility of postSecond World War Germany, in both broad and very personal terms. This handsomely designed book features approximately 100 of his key canvases, from photo paintings created in the early 1960s to portraits and later large-scale abstract series, as well as select works in glass. New essays by eminent scholars address a variety of themes: Sheena Wagstaff evaluates the conceptual import of the artists technique; Benjamin H. D. Buchloh discusses the poignant Birkenau paintings (2014); Peter Geimer explores the artists enduring interest in photographic imagery; Briony Fer looks at Richters family pictures against traditional painting genres and conventions; Brinda Kumar investigates the artists engagement with landscape as a site of memory; André Rottmann considers the impact of randomization and chance on Richters abstract works; and Hal Foster examines the glass and mirror works. As this book demonstrates, Richters rich and varied oeuvre is a testament to the continued relevance of painting in contemporary art.
