Painting―its principles,
boundaries, and possibilities―is the central theme of the extensive body of work
by Gerhard Richter (*1932 in Dresden), an oeuvre has
been characterized by stylistic contrasts since the very beginning.
This elegant volume of color plates featuring profound essays by Benjamin H.
D. Buchloh, Beate Söntgen, and Gregor Stemmrich focuses on the artist’s
abstract paintings, which have comprised a dominant portion of his collective works
since the eighties. The book does not trace the development of form and content in
the paintings, but concentrates instead on the paintings that thematically
comprise a homogenous body of work. It is based on the assertion that Richter’s
abstract paintings are the results of various painterly processes that are not
guided in a particular direction by a content-related precept. The featured
paintings were produced between 1986 and 2006 and place emphasis on large-format
paintings characterized by a prodigious painterly
density. (German edition

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Gerhard Richter (works) (illustrator). Exhibition Publication. Jacket has light general wear and a tiny nick at head of spine. Book very clean. Binding tight. 160pp Gerhard Richter cited the appearances of Jackson Pollock and Lucio Fontana at the second Documenta in Kassel in the late 50s as decisive encounters for his then-incipient art. Just a few years later, Richter would style himself as a German "Pop" artist, but in the 80s he returned to pure abstraction for its possibilities of "bitter truth, liberation, and. a completely different and new content. expressing itself." His abstract paintings present a heavily worked surface, blurred and scraped to both veil and expose prior layers. In other words, they manage a tension between depth (layer) and strong horizontal activity (blur). Unlike much heavily worked abstraction, and in spite of their scale, their total effect is not heroic--Richter's almost-deadpan, process-oriented transparency cancels out such chest-beating--but the artist that responded to the direct energies of Pollock's work has clearly found a way, some decades later, to conjure both zest and detachment simultaneously. Abstraction has made up a dominant portion of Richter's output since the 80s, inaugurating a fruitful dialectic with figuration, and Large Abstracts collects works produced between 1986 and 2006.

Hardcover. Zustand: gut. 2008. Die Malerei ihre Prinzipien, Grenzen und Möglichkeiten ist das zentrale Thema im umfangreichen Werk von Gerhard Richter (*1932 in Dresden), das seit seinen Anfängen durch stilistische Gegensätze gekennzeichnet ist. Der elegante, durchgehend farbig bebilderte Band mit profunden Textbeiträgen von Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Beate Söntgen und Gregor Stemmrich lenkt den Blick auf die abstrakten Bilder des Künstlers, die seit den 1980er-Jahren eine dominierende Werkgruppe darstellen. Dabei wird keine formal-inhaltliche Entwicklung nachgezeichnet, vielmehr konzentriert sich die Werkauswahl auf Gemälde, die thematisch einen homogenen Schaffenskomplex bilden. Ausgangspunkt ist die Feststellung, dass die abstrakten Bilder Ergebnisse malerischer Prozesse sind, die nicht durch eine inhaltliche Vorgabe in eine bestimmte Richtung gelenkt werden. Die gezeigten Gemälde sind zwischen 1986 und 2006 entstanden und stellen großformatige Bilder, die von einer ungeheuren malerischen Dichte geprägt sind, in den Vordergrund. Im repräsentativen Großformat mit zahlreichen 1:1-Details aus den abstrakten Bildern des großen deutschen Künstlers Gerhard Richter.Paintingits principles, boundaries, and possibilitiesis the central theme of the extensive body of work by Gerhard Richter (*1932 in Dresden), an oeuvre has been characterized by stylistic contrasts since the very beginning.
