PhotoEspaña 2009: Gerhard Richter, Fotografías pintadas

Gerhard Richter’s artist's book Sils is named after the Swiss village of the same name, which he visited regularly for many years. Richter has approached the Sils landscape from various angles with a series of overpainted photographs. The photographs are mostly arranged as pairs, and are entitled Fextal, Piz Lunghi, Piz Surlej, Piz Corvatsch or Silsersee after different places within the region. Owing to the overpainting and their orientation – some of them are printed upside down – it is difficult to recognise the different locations.

The book was first published on the occasion of a Gerhard Richter exhibition at Nietzsche-Haus in Sils in 1992, and has been reprinted repeatedly since.

Edited by Hans Ulrich Obrist, with a text by Peter André Bloch.

Gerhard Richter. Übermalte Fotografien was published to coincide with the exhibition at the Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen and at the Centre de la photographie in Geneva.

For the first time, an exhibition and catalogue give an extensive overview of Gerhard Richter’s overpainted photographs, dated from 1986 onwards. 400 largely unpublished artworks were brought together from numerous private collections, including Gerhard Richter’s own.

Edited by Markus Heinzelmann, with texts by Siri Hustvedt, Markus Heinzelmann, Uwe M. Schneede and Botho Strauss.
