Gerhard Richter is widely seen as one of the most important painters at work in the world today. Born in Dresden, Germany, in 1932, he left for the West in 1961, settling in Dusseldorf, where he held his first exhibition in 1963. He has exhibited internationally for the last five decades, including retrospectives in New York, Paris and Dusseldorf. He lives and works in Cologne. As the artist draws near to his eightieth birthday in 2012, Tate Modern in collaboration with the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris, is staging a major retrospective exhibition. While many previous books have focused on one aspect of Richter's work, this stunningly illustrated survey encompasses his entire oeuvre, including photo-paintings, abstracts, land and seascapes, portraits, glass and mirror works, drawings and photographs. Nicholas Serota, Director of Tate, has conducted a new interview with Richter, covering his life and achievements. An array of international critics and curators each examine a specific period of the artist's career, bringing fresh perspectives to bear and placing individual works in the context of world events. With extensive comparative works, studio photographs, a chronology and a selective bibliography, this monumental book is a fitting tribute to one of the world's greatest living artists.

{PRETITLE} Gerhard Richter: Panorama {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.
