| | | | Gerhard Richter: Colour ChartsText by Dietmar Elger, Hubertus Butin, Jaleh Mansoor.
 In 1966, German artist Gerhard Richter (born 1932) embarked on a series of paintings: uniform grids of colored rectangles or squares in a chart configuration against a white background, inspired by industrially produced paint chips. With the exception of only one other painting, this marked the artist’s first use of color and a turning point in his career.
This comprehensive catalogue is the first publication dedicated to the original Colour Charts, both those created in 1966 and those made in the ‘70s after a five-year hiatus. Featuring new essays by Dietmar Elger, head of the Gerhard Richter Archive; Hubertus Butin, curator and author of several key texts on Richter; and Jaleh Mansoor, professor at the University of British Columbia, whose research concentrates on modern abstraction and its socioeconomic implications, this is a handsome tribute to one of Richter’s most groundbreaking bodies of work.

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 8/11/2016 "Six Yellows" (1966) is reproduced from Gerhard Richter: Colour Charts, new from Dominique Lévy. Gatefolds, historical photographs, installation shots, drawings and scholarly essays surround a rich plate section presenting this historical series inspired by industrially produced paint chips. "In 1966, Gerhard Richter's first Colour Charts revealed a crucial path to making pictures that would avoid the traps of painterly expressivity and artistic subjectivity," Dietmar Elger, Director of the Gerhard Richter Archive, writes. "Even decades later, he described these works as a 'happy stroke of luck' within his oeuvre." continue to blog | |  | HENI PUBLISHINGISBN: 9781912122592
