Inhaltsangabe

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
