false 79277 1 Gerhard Richter, born in Dresden in 1932, is one of the foremost painters of his generation. A great deal has been written about the bewildering heterogeneity of his work over the past 30 years. His seemingly willful and defiant movement between abstract and figurative modes of representation and his seemingly inconsistent methods of applying paint to canvas are consistent, if nothing else, with Richter himself -- the master of the paradoxical statement. Although he has emphasized that he is first a painter and has never been a theorist, he has, throughout his career issued provocative, contentious, and memorable statements.<br /> <br /> Over seven years in preparation, this book makes available a selection of Richter's texts from all periods of his career, many translated for the first time. There are public statements about specific exhibitions, private reflections drawn from personal correspondence, answers to questions posed by critics, and excerpts from journals discussing the intentions, subjects, methods, and sources of his works from various periods. The writings are accompanied by 87 biographical illustrations of paintings from the artist's personal collection.<br /> <br /> <I>Published in association with the Anthony d'Offay Gallery, London</i> 76549 5 12 1995 The Daily Practice of Painting: Writings 1962-1993 total:85|5:47|4:26|3:10|2:2|1:0| 85 373 130 12 4 0 false false Wed Dec 05 19:33:06 -0800 2007 Wed Jan 02 16:57:00 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu Dec 18 14:01:43 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 18 14:01:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 1998 Wed Jan 07 07:23:31 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 07:24:05 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Apr 19 11:50:54 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 19 11:55:15 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 07 09:55:50 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 11 13:20:48 -0700 2007
