Gerhard Richter. Painting After All: Ausst. Kat. The Met Breuer, NY 2020 Dt. Ausgabe

Published on the occasion of the major retrospective at the Metropoli- tan Museum New York in spring 2020, 'Gerhard Richter: Painting After All'
is the most comprehensive overview of the artist's oeuvre to date. In the course of his 60-year career, Gerhard Richter has used both figuration and abstraction as means to more ob- jectively and personally balance Germany's historical heritage, collec- tive memory, and national sensibilities. The elegantly designed book in- cludes his most important paintings, from photographic paintings from the early 1960s to portraits and later large-format abstract series to select- ed works in glass. The linen-bound catalogue generously displays all the works, and is explained and com- mented on by experts from various angles.
