Gerhard Richter Catalogue Raisonné. Volume 6 reflects the vast span of Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre, which embraces in excess of three thousand individual works. Over a period of five decades, he has created a stylistically heterogeneous, complex body of work that testifies to his status as the most important living artist of our time.

This long-awaited first volume of the catalogue raisonné was released on the occasion of the artist's eightieth birthday in February 2012. Dietmar Elger, director of the Gerhard Richter Archive at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, has devoted years to researching and preparing this publication. The six-volume catalogue raisonné of all of Richter's paintings and sculptures will be published over the next seven years.

Apart from the richly coloured illustrations, many of them full-page, this volume includes full technical details, information about the artist's handwritten notes, and the provenance, bibliography, and exhibitions of each individual work. This information is supplemented by commentary, quotes, and comparison images.

Subscription price for complete set: € 198.00 per volume. You will be invoiced with each delivery.

    Abstract Art
    Abstraction shook Western art to its core. In the early part of the 20th century, it refuted the reign of clear, indisputable forms and confronted audiences instead with vivid visual poems devoid of conventional representational imagery and characterized by allegories of emotion and sensation. This radical artistic adventure established new artistic means, as much as narratives. Expression became characterized by...
