Gerhard Richter: Life and Work
No Customer Reviews
The definitive survey of one of the greatest artists of our time: Gerhard Richter. This book offers a representative selection of Gerhard Richter's most important works from more than six decades. Born in Dresden in 1932, Richter is one of the world's most successful and revered contemporary artists, setting auction records for the highest prices ever paid for work by a living artist. During his career, Richter's art constantly evolved and often took surprising turns and directions. His work is both extensive and complex, encompassing the classic genres of painting - landscape, still life and portrait painting - as well as avant-garde trends of the late 20th century: photorealism, monochrome painting, concept art and boldly colored, large-format abstractions. Richter's art is provokingly multifaceted and always engrossing and superlative, hanging in all major museums across the world. Commentary by renowned art historian Armin Zweite, who is also a friend and former promoter of the artist, rounds off the book.
