Gerhard Richter - Atlas - Thames & Hudson 2011
This monumental publication maps the ideas, processes, life and time of one of the most important painters of the late twentieth century: Gerhard Richter.
Conceived and closely edited by the artist himself, Atlas cuts straight to the heart of his work, presenting the photographs, drawings and sketches he has compiled or created since the moment of his creative break-through in 1962. From pictures of family and friends to images from the mass media, Richter's photographs - sometimes found, sometimes original - have provided the basis for many of his paintings, often re-emerging in a luminous, monochromatic palette, and falling ambiguously between documentary and historical painting.
Introduction by Helmut Friedel
