Publisher Description The first collection of essays on Gerhard Richter, who has been called "the greatest modern painter."The contemporary painter Gerhard Richter (born in 1932) has been heralded both as modernitys last painter and as paintings modern savior, seen to represent both the end of painting and its resurrection. Richter works in a dizzying variety of styles, from abstraction to a German cool pop that combines painterly technique and appropriation; his work includes photo paintings, large abstract canvases, and stained glass windows. This collection features writing by prominent critics, including Hal Foster, Gertrud Koch, and Thomas Crow; an essay by Rachel Haidu on Richters family pictures that is published here for the first time; and an essay and two interviews with the artist by Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Richters "longtime sparring partner" (as the curator Robert Storr has called him). These writings examine Richters work as a whole, from October 18, 1977, his dreamlike series of paintings depicting the dead Baader-Meinhof gang, to his abstract trio Abstract Paintings; from his unsettling portrait of "Uncle Rudi" in Nazi garb to his late series of portraits of his wife and young child. This addition to the October Files series will be an essential handbook to one of the most enigmatic figures in contemporary artContents Gerhard Richter and Benjamin H. D.
