A Japanese exhibition catalogue dedicated to Gerhard Richter, one of the most influential figures in contemporary painting.
Published on the occasion of Richter's first major retrospective in Japan, held at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and the Kawamura Memorial Museum of Art between 2005 and 2006.
Spanning works from 1962 to 2004, the publication explores Richter's constantly shifting relationship with painting, photography, memory, and abstraction. From blurred photo-paintings and atmospheric landscapes to color charts, mirrors, and monumental abstract compositions, the catalogue traces an artistic practice that challenges the boundaries between representation and perception.
Featuring critical essays, extensive illustrations, and an accompanying documentary DVD with interviews, this Japanese edition offers a distinctive perspective on Richter's work.
