Conceived and closely edited by Gerhard Richter himself, Atlas cuts straight to the heart of the artist's work, collecting more than 5,000 photographs, drawings and sketches that he has compiled or created since the moment of his creative breakthrough in 1962. The images closely parallel, year by year, the subjects of Richter's paintings, revealing the orderly but open-ended analysis that has been so central to his art. Offering invaluable insight into Richter's working process, this encyclopedic new edition, which completely revises and updates the rare, out-of-print 1997 edition and includes 147 additional plates, features 780 multi-image panels, each reproduced full page and in full color. Having left East Germany in 1961, where he had already established a reputation as a Realist Painter, Gerhard Richter went on to attend the Dusseldorf Academy, striking out on radical new path and changing the history of painting as he looked to photography for a way to release painting from the political and symbolic burdens of Socialist Realism and Abstract Expressionism. From pictures of family and friends to images from the mass media, Richter's photographs-sometimes found, sometimes original-have provided the basis for many of his paintings, often re-emerging in a luminous, monochromatic palette, and falling ambiguously between documentary and historical painting. 76543 1 1 2007 Gerhard Richter: Atlas total:28|5:21|4:3|3:4|2:0|1:0| 28 129 35 9 79271 1933045477 9781933045474 28 9 4.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170964932m/79271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79271.Gerhard_Richter_Atlas 5 0 false Wed Jun 24 12:03:29 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 12:06:23 -0700 2009 79271 1933045477 9781933045474 28 9 4.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170964932m/79271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79271.Gerhard_Richter_Atlas 5 0 false Sun May 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 14:22:35 -0700 2009 Sat May 23 16:12:45 -0700 2009 more...]]> 79271 1933045477 9781933045474 28 9 4.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170964932m/79271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79271.Gerhard_Richter_Atlas 5 0 false Wed Jun 11 15:45:09 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 11 15:46:21 -0700 2008 79271 1933045477 9781933045474 28 9 4.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170964932m/79271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79271.Gerhard_Richter_Atlas 3 0 false Sun May 13 17:21:42 -0700 2007 Sun May 13 17:22:45 -0700 2007 79271 1933045477 9781933045474 28 9 4.61 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170964932m/79271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/79271.Gerhard_Richter_Atlas 5 0 false Mon Sep 08 17:44:47 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 17:47:03 -0700 2008
