Produktbeschreibung
Gerhard Richter's newest facsimile-like artist's book is focused on a single work comprising twenty-six drawings in pencil and ink. "[Richter's drawings] are of stringent individuality and recognizably by Richter's hand, not based on their signature style but rather because they make their theme the act of drawing itself, gauging the conditions of drawing." -Dieter SchwarzIn this new body of work, Richter combines various elements from a limited set of forms and techniques-including meandering lines, broad tonal planes applied with angled strokes of graphite, and passages of smudging, hatching, and erasure-thereby uniting choice and chance through this infinitely generative process. The resulting works on paper serve as condensed expressions, encapsulating and refining the fundamental principles that have consistently defined Richter's artistic journey. Reproduced at actual size, the drawings encourage in-depth observation as well as inspire compelling reimagining of abstraction.
Autorenporträt
Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) was born in Dresden, Germany. He studied art at the Dresden Hochschule für Bildende Künste from 1951 to 1956, with mural painting as his main course. In 1959, he visited documenta II, held in Kassel, Germany, an experience that inspired him to alter his artistic trajectory. After his escape from East Germany in 1961, he completed a second course of study at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. Since the 1960s, Richter's critically acclaimed and hugely popular work has been the subject of major museum retrospectives worldwide, and features in public and private collections internationally. Gerhard Richter lives and works in Cologne, Germany.
