(H/B) GERHARD RICHTER

Παρουσίαση

Gerhard Richter is one of the most influential painters working today. Active since the early 1960s, his work in many mediums has garnered serious attention as well as international accolades. His paintings - subtly modulated photo-based works, thought-provoking monochrome abstractions, and heavily painted, highly-colored gestural canvases - are the subject of this lavishly illustrated monograph. This important book accompanied the first comprehensive exhibition of the paintings of the German artist. Included are beautiful color plates of nearly 200 works in a broad representation of his forty years of painting. The texts by Robert Storr, Senior Curator of the Department of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, include a well-illustrated insightful essay and a recent interview with the artist. Mr. Storr is also the author of the acclaimed volume Gerhard Richter: October 18, 1977 published by MoMA in 2000. 120 color, 165 duotone illustrations. (From the publisher)
