OverviewA compilation of Richter's tributes to the eastern Swiss Alps' sublime vistas Coinciding with the eponymous exhibition, Gerhard Richter: Engadin explores the wellspring of inspiration that German artist Gerhard Richter (born 1932) has found within the Engadin region of the Swiss Alps. Upon his first visit to the region in the late 80s, Richter was seduced by the sublime views of dazzling blue lakes and majestic mountain peaks. Throughout the subsequent decades, the artist has continuously returned to the destination, translating the region into his own distinct vision. Featuring 80 color illustrations, this catalog compiles the abstract paintings, overpainted photographs, drawings and objects Richter has created while visiting Engadin. The volume includes ever-before-seen archival images, as well as an illuminating essay by the exhibition curator, Dieter Schwarz, who further fleshes out the artists' philosophical and aesthetic attachments to the Alpine landscapes. This robust collection of materials are bound within a svelte, affordable paperback.
