The first of a projected five volumes cataloguing the painted work of the prominent German artist Gerhard Richter, this volume revises and continues catalogues that the artist himself had carefully begun earlier in his career This publication marks the important collaboration of the Gerhard Richter Archiv and the Staaliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden, thus providing important new documentary and visual information about the works Good color images appear throughout; source material for individual paintings is also illustrated. This book and its successors will be indispensable research tools for future writing on this artist Highly recommended.--J. T. Paoletti Choice (04/01/2012)
