Spanning nearly five decades, and coinciding with the artist's 80th birthday, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is a major chronological retrospective that groups together significant moments of this remarkable painter's career. It includes portraits based on photographs such as the famous Betty 1988, abstractions, subtle landscapes, colour charts, works on paper, mirrors and three important glass constructions.
Gerhard Richter was one of the first German artists to reflect on the history of National show more Socialism, creating paintings of family members who had been members, as well as victims of, the Nazis, as well as canvases reminiscent of images of the bombing of Dresden. In 1988 he produced the 15-part work October 18 1977, a sequence of black and white paintings based on images of the Baader Meinhof group. Richter has continued to respond to significant moments in history. Gerhard Richter (born 1932) is widely regarded as one of the most important painters at work in the world today and has exhibited at many of the world's leading art institutions. He is as well known for his figurative works as he is for his abstract paintings, often combining elements of both in groundbreaking ways. On the occasion of a major, touring, retrospective exhibition, a collaboration between Tate Modern, London, Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and Centre Pompidou, Paris, this important book encompasses Richter's entire career. With texts by leading international authorities on Richter's work, a new interview with the artist and over 300 illustrations, it will remain the most comprehensive survey of Richter's monumental achievements for many years to come. show less
