... it is possible to dismantle the often stated division in Richter’s work between abstraction and figuration, and many of the essays in this book question this polarisation. But there is more at stake in Richter’s analogies than doing away with this division. The artist – it has recently been argued – is committed to thinking in terms of analogies rather than oppositions. When one thinks this way, it means being open to the recognition of one’s connectedness to both the victims and persecutors of history. This recognition is charged in a very particular way in Germany, but it also speaks of an ethical position that has more relevance for all of us day by day.

Mark Godfrey, Dorothée Brill and Camille Morineau

Gerhard Richter: Panorama

A Retrospective: Expanded Edition

Edited by Nicholas Serota, Mark Godfrey. Text by Achim Borchardt-Hume, Dorothée Brill, Rachel Haidu, Mark Godfrey, Christine Mehring, Camille Morineau. Interview by Nicholas Serota.

Gerhard Richter: Panorama

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.


Born in Dresden, East Germany, in 1932, Gerhard Richter migrated to West Germany in 1961, settling in Düsseldorf. He has exhibited internationally for the last five decades, with retrospectives in New York, Paris and Düsseldorf. He lives and works in Cologne.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Frieze

Jörg Heiser

the doubt and uncertainty of dreams permeates not only his imagery but his painterly process itself: the micro-movement of blurring the photograph-based works with a soft brush performs doubt as tremor – and the macro-movement of scraping the squeegee’s rubber flap across the abstract canvasperforms doubt as negation

Evening Standard

Ben Luke

What emerges from Richter's experiments over the past five decades is a profound curiosity about what art and images can seize and represent, what truths and feelings can be captured in a picture on the surface of a canvas. The results might be enigmatic, but this is not a damnation of paint - it is a celebration

Times Higher Education

Alex Danchev

For Richter, the question of the paintable and the unpaintable is not a question of taboos or proscriptions, given or handed down, but rather an exercise of artistic conscience

Guardian

Laura Cumming

Tremendous... 50 years of work, from the early black-and-white history paintings to the rapturous still lifes of today. One sees as never before that this blur is always different, and always material to the picture's content.

New Statesman

Tim Adams

If we take all style to be an imposition of the self on a subject, an act of violence, Richter is the ultimate pacifist painter. As soon as he threatens mastery, which he does unnervingly often, he withdraws from the act. Every time his painting appeared to resolve itself into something understandably Richteresque, the painter took to his heels and started again from a differentplace altogether.

New York Times

Dana Jennings

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 stunninglyillustrated 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.

AnOther

Allie Biswas

Skilfully reveals all the key periods....an artist who has constantly reinvented how to pain

Icon Magazine

Charles Holland

The overriding emotion the work conjures up is intense doubt, both about the subjects being memoralised and the point of attempting to mark them in the first place

New York Journal of Books

Karl Wolf

Mr. Godfrey and Mr. Serota have marshaled together an impressive array ofintellectual talent for the task. They make wanting to comprehend Richter’s massive oeuvre a wonderful invitation

Happy 90th Birthday Gerhard Richter, born OTD in 1932!

Happy 90th Birthday Gerhard Richter, born OTD in 1932!

Perhaps German painter Gerhard Richter's best-known painting, "Betty" (1988) is reproduced from Panorama, the definitive, expanded Richter survey from D.A.P. and Tate. "The painting exudes a deep sense of nostalgia," Achim Borchardt-Hume writes, "Richter's adolescent daughter turns away from her father's attempt to freeze her appearance with his camera. By extension, she also turns away from the present-day viewer. The typical Richter blur softens the painting's photorealism and heightens the motif's romantic aura (not unlike a photograph taken with a soft-focus lens), while simultaneously acting as a reminder that what we are looking at is a painting, not a photograph. At the same time, it mimics the temporality of photography, which, as Roland Barthes so aptly demonstrated, always entrails a sense of loss, of not death, of something irretrievably gone." continue to blog

Going beyond this senseless existence: Gerhard Richter

Going beyond this senseless existence: Gerhard Richter

"A painting can help us to think something that goes beyond this senseless existence," Gerhard Richer wrote in 2009. "That’s something art can do." Featured image is "Flow" (2013), from a series of paintings made from colored lacquers poured onto Plexiglas surfaces, which are then swirled and sandwiched under a top layer of glass. "The works can look very pretty – like marbled paper, or rock strata, or microscopic images," Mark Godfrey writes, "but with the paint on the other side of the glass to the viewer, there is always a strange sense that they are pictures of themselves, and that we are not looking at actual swirls of paint." continue to blog
