Published on the occasion of Richter's major exhibition at the Tate, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is the first and most complete overview of one of the greatest artistic achievements of our times. Where previous monographs have focused on a single genre within the artist's vast output, this stunningly illustrated survey encompasses his entire oeuvre, now stretching across more than a half-century of activity, including photo-paintings, abstracts, landscapes and seascapes, portraits, glass and mirror works, sculptures, drawings and photographs. It therefore stands as the definitive portrait of Richter's colossal accomplishment to date. Alongside his celebrated abstractions, early black-and-white paintings and the photorealist depictions of candles, skulls and clouds that have become indisputable icons of modern painting, Panorama includes nearly 30 new paintings made over the past ten years, extensive comparative works, studio photographs, archival images and a substantial interview with the artist conducted by Nicholas Serota. This landmark publication is a fitting tribute to one of the world's most celebrated living artists.
Born in Dresden, East Germany, in 1932, Gerhard Richter migrated to West Germany in 1961, settling in Düsseldorf, where he studied at the Düsseldorf Academy, and where he held his first solo exhibition in 1963. Over the course of that decade, Richter helped to liberate painting from the legacy of Socialist Realism (in Eastern Germany) and Abstract Expressionism (in Western Germany and throughout Europe). He has exhibited internationally for the last five decades, with retrospectives in New York, Paris and Düsseldorf. He lives and works in Cologne.

{PRETITLE} Gerhard Richter: Panorama: A Retrospective {POSTTITLE}

This review is from: Gerhard Richter: Panorama: A Retrospective (Hardcover)
For those who have been following the changing style of Gerhard Richter's art over the last half century this retrospective exhibition catalogue will not only inform but amaze with the breadth of works included. The book GERHARD RICHTER: PANORAMA began with the mighty exhibition at the Tate in London and has since been on tour throughout Europe. The works of Richter, best known to the public, are his majestic landscapes - at times in mixed media, but always stupefying in their size and the references to history while being at the same time resources of the study of light that many artists reference in their work.

PANORAMA is just that - the works included in this generously illustrated book include the artist's photo-paintings, abstracts, seascapes, landscapes, portraits, still lifes of candles, skulls and clouds, works created form glass and mirror, sculptures, drawings and photographs. Of particular interest to the followers of Richter are the many new paintings (approximately thirty or so) not seen in monographs before this book. While Richter's works speak volumes on their own, this monograph includes some very fine essays by Achim Borchardt-Hume, Dorothée Brill, Rachel Haidu, Christine Mehring, and Camille Morineau which add insights to the master's works and evolution as he changes his subject matter and approach and media. The book is edited by Nicholas Serota and Mark Godfrey and every stage in the artists life is studied and documented with fine examples of his work.
