Description
Gerhard Richter (*1932) is an exceptional personality—not because his pictures are world famous, but because he has demonstrated a new approach to painting. His art masterfully moves between abstraction and representation, sensuousness and denial—ambivalent attitudes which he demonstrated even in his early work.
Gerhard Richter's oeuvre overcomes the division between abstract and representational art. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact picture of reality. Richter is a sceptical artist who questions the reality of his art even when the prime subject of his paintings is the tangible.
This applies in particular to his door, curtain, and window pictures of the 1960s, which form the central focus of this volume. They stage a playful examination of the illusory nature of art, which always questions what painting shows or conceals.
This lavishly appointed volume is published to mark the artist's 85th birthday.
