FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) was born in Dresden, Germany. He studied art at the Dresden Hochschule fÜr Bildende KÜnste from 1951 to 1956, with mural painting as his concentration. In 1959, he visited documenta II, held in Kassel, Germany, an experience that inspired him to alter his artistic trajectory. After his escape from East Germany in 1961, he completed a second course of study at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in DÜsseldorf. There, he united with his fellow students Sigmar Polke, Konrad Lueg, and Manfred Kuttner to collectively form the short-lived "Capitalist Realism" group. Work by Richter is held in important public and private collections worldwide and was most recently included in major exhibitions at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; and Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin.Dieter Schwarz is a curator and writer. He has organized numerous exhibitions and contributed to publications on artists from early modernity to the present, including Pierre Bonnard, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, and Robert Ryman. Review "a vivid reminder of the painters ongoing vitality" "At Zwirner more than 70 recent drawings and inkjet prints were shown. By any measure, the paintings and drawings reflect a prodigious amount of work for an artist of any age. And they represent no diminution of talent or power"--Tom Teicholz "Forbes" Details ISBN1644231131 Publisher David Zwirner Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781644231135 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-11-16 Imprint David Zwirner Place of Publication NY Country of Publication United States NZ Release Date 2023-11-16 US Release Date 2023-11-16 UK Release Date 2023-11-16 ISBN-10 1644231131 Pages 192 Author Dieter Schwarz Illustrations 132 Illustrations, color Audience General AU Release Date 2024-01-15 DEWEY 709.2 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
