Gerhard Richter - 100 Bilder - Cantz 1996

Designed by the artist himself, this publication gives a rare insight into one of the most intensive work periods (1995–1996) of Richter’s life.
It commences by introducing pictures, which having been kept in the artist’s studio had never been on view. Although mostly focussing on abstract works, an intimate cycle of eight photo paintings in a smaller format is also included: an autobiographic cycle depicting his third wife Sabine Moritz, a painter herself, and their first son Moritz in a Madonna-like pose.
With contributions from Birgit Pelzer and Guy Tosatto
Published by Hans-Ulrich Obrist on the occasion of the exhibition held at Carré d'Art de Nîmes, 1996.
