Books Descriptions
Over the 60 years of his artistic career, Gerhard Richter (born 1932) has
produced a standard-setting oeuvre whose thematic and stylistic diversity has
no equal among the art of our time. This extensive monograph is the first to
present the complete range of the numerous works Richter realized as series,
cycles and spaces. It includes figurative paintings, such as landscapes, still lifes
and portraits, many of which are based on photographs, such as the series S. and
Child, a personal and intimate variation on the traditional subject of the
Madonna and Child. It also features abstract works, for which Richter draws
from a changing repertoire of forms and colors to produce both small and
monumental paintings.
