Synopsis

The expanded edition of the definitive Gerhard Richter survey

First published on the occasion of the major retrospective exhibition that opened at Tate Modern in 2011, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is the most complete overview of the artist’s entire career to date. This stunningly illustrated survey encompasses works from the late 1950s to the present―photo-paintings, abstractions, landscapes, seascapes, portraits, color charts, grey paintings, glass and mirror works, sculptures, drawings and photographs―providing the definitive account of Richter’s achievements. It also includes studio photographs, archival images and texts by an array of international critics and curators. This expanded edition of Panorama includes a new text by Mark Godfrey that covers works made since the 2011 exhibition, including the Strip, Flow and Birkenau paintings, as well as an updated chronology. With more than 300 illustrations, and an interview between Richter and Nicholas Serota, Director of Tate, this book remains the most comprehensive survey of one of the world’s pre-eminent contemporary artists.

Review

Richter uses image and abstraction in mediums as diverse as glass installations, painting, and photography to offer meditations on the world and the objects and people who fill it. (Greg Horton Artdesk)

This exhibition catalogue- from its opening Q and A between Tate director Nicholas Serota and the laconic painter through half a dozen chronological essays- is indispensable. (Eric Bryant Art + Auction)

Published on the occasion of Richter's major exhibition at the Tate, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is the first and most complete overview of one of the greatest artistic achievements of our times. Where previous monographs have focused on a single genre within the artist's vast output, this stunningly illustrated survey encompasses his entire oeuvre, now stretching across more than a half-century of activity, including photo-paintings, abstracts, landscapes and seascapes, portraits, glass and mirror works, sculptures, drawings and photographs. It therefore stands as the definitive portrait of Richter's colossal accomplishment to date. (Dana Jennings The New York Times)

Just in time for his 80th birthday, the illustrious German artist will see a half-century of his dizzyingly electric output shown at London's Tate Modern... If ever a show was worth traveling for, it's this one, but if you can't make it, pick up the accompanying monograph. (Details)
