Dieter Schwarz, Götz Adriani. — Gerhard Richter. Paintings from private collections.

Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden 2008 Hardcover with dusjacket, 20 x 28,7 cm. 184pp. with 119 (105 farb.) illustrations Text in English, Fine condition (some traces of use on dj.). ISBN 9783775721370. This attractive publication is based on over 80 works from important private collections - including works from the artist's own - a concise insight into more than 40 years of his work as reflecting both the post-war German history as well as the medium of painting. Richter's immensely complex work oscillates between almost photo-realistic images and large, expressive colors in her abstract and technical perfection captivating compositions. The focus is however, always the painting, which holds its own in a variety of game modes and confronts the reality of their own reality, self-confident.
