Previously unseen drawings by Gerhard Richter, in pencil, chalk and crayon
This hardcover volume compiles a series of recent drawings by Gerhard Richter (born 1932)—works ideally suited to the codex form by virtue of their scale and their fragility. Designed and perfected through numerous phases of revision by the artist, Gerhard Richter: 92 Zeichnungen 2017–2020 presents 92 previously unseen, mostly color, abstract pencil drawings in their original sizes, varying from 6 x 6“ to 9 x 9”. The works are characterized by erasure and frottage; Richter also uses crayon and chalk here for the first time. Each work is titled with dates of composition, from 15.11.2017 to 1.1.2020. The book includes no supplementary text, thereby possessing something of the feel of a sketchbook or album.
