Einzelausstellungen

This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition Richter en France at the Musée de Grenoble in 2009.
Both the exhibition and catalogue are dedicated to works by Gerhard Richter that belong to public collections and museums in France. The artworks offer an insight into Richter’s different creative periods. Despite an emphasis on abstract paintings of the 1980s, paintings after photographs, grey monochrome pictures and drawings are also taken into account.

The text contributions provide an overview of Richter's œuvre and address grey paintings and glass works, as well as drawings separately.

Text contributions by Guy Tosatto, Jean-Pierre Criqui and Jonas Storsve.

The catalogue was published to coincide with the exhibition Gerhard Richter: 4900 Colours at the Serpentine Gallery in London in 2008.

The work 4900 Colours [CR: 902] is the pictorial and transportable counterpart of the Cologne Cathedral Window [CR: 900] of 2007. Richter defined eleven different arrangements of the 4900 colour squares that form the piece. Version II, which divides the work into 49 separate pictures, was chosen for the Serpentine exhibition. The catalogue also introduces the other versions not exhibited at the Serpentine Gallery and includes an analysis of the principle of chance, which plays a distinctive role in Richter's œuvre and was used to arrange 4900 Colours.

With an introduction by Julia Peyton-Jones and Hans Ulrich Obrist and text contributions by Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Peter Gidal and Birgit Pelzer.

The book was published on the occasion of the exhibition Gerhard Richter. Abstrakte Bilder at Museum Ludwig, Cologne and Haus der Kunst, Munich. The exhibitions were dedicated to Gerhard Richter’s abstract pictures, which form approximately one third of his œuvre.

However, this publication is not an overview of the development of his abstract works, but rather singles out selected large format works for discussion. These works, executed between 1986 and 2006, show a similar complexity that originates from a multitude of layers of paint.

Edited by Ulrich Wilmes, with text contributions by Benjamin H.D. Buchloh, Beate Söntgen and Gregor Stemmrich.

Gerhard Richter: Bilder 1963 – 2007 is the catalogue published to coincide with the exhibition at the National Art Museum in Beijing in 2008.

Works from the collections Böckmann, Frieder Burda and Ströher, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, as well as from other private collections are highlighted and allow an insight into 40 years of Gerhard Richter's artistic career. The paintings from the years 1963 – 2007 reflect both the history of post-war Germany and the development of Gerhard Richter’s painting.

With contributions by Götz Adriani and Dietmar Elger.
