Gerhard Richter (*1932) is without a doubt one of the most important artists of our time. His works are in all of the large museums and important collections around the world. Yet on their own, these kinds of superlatives hardly do justice to the artist's work. This attractive publication features more than ninety works from important private collections, including the artist's own, and thus provides a concise view of works spanning a range of over forty years-which not only reflects the post-war history of Germany, but also the medium of painting, as well. Richter's incredibly complex work oscillates between paintings bordering on photorealism and large, abstract compositions of enchanting expressive color and technical perfection. Yet his work is always centered on painting itself, which is asserted in many different ways, confidently holding up its own reality for comparison to the actual world.
