Gerhard Richter
Gerhard Richter's 4900 Colours from 2007 is a major new work consisting of bright monochrome squares that have been randomly arranged in a grid pattern to create stunning fields of kaleidoscopic color. It was produced at the same time he developed his design for the south transept window of Cologne Cathedral, unveiled in August 2007, which is made up of 11,500 handcrafted squares of glass in seventy-two colors.4900 Colours consists of 196 panels in twenty-five colors that can be reassembled in eleven variations--from a single expansive surface to multiple small-format fields. Richter developed Version II--forty-nine paintings, each of which measures ninety-seven by ninety-seven centimeters--especially for the Serpentine Gallery. The richly illustrated catalogue includes texts by Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Peter Gidal, and Birgit Pelzer. Exhibition schedule: Serpentine Gallery,London, September 23-November 16, 2008
The Daily Practice of Painting
Writings of Gerhard Richter.
CAGE
"Gerhard Richter was born in Dresden in 1932 and lives and works in Cologne. His continuing commitment to, and exploration of, the medium of painting has made him one of the most important artists of our time. The Cage paintings, a cycle of large-scale works named after the American avant-garde composer John Cage, were displayed for the first time at the Venice Siennale in 2007. They represent the latest highlight in a career that spans more than four decades." "Leading critic Robert Storr considers the importance of the Cage paintings within Richter's practice and within the wider context of abstract art. A series of extraordinary, detailed photographs document the development of each painting, day by day, and show the artist at work on these monumental canvases, giving unique insight into his working methods." "Including illustrations of comparative works, archival photographs and studio views, Cage: 6 Paintings by Gerhard Richter is essential reading for anyone interested in the life and work of one of the world's greatest living painters." --Book Jacket.

New scholarship explores Gerhard Richter's often overlooked early work.
For the Privileged Few
In 2004 a Danish newspaper revealed the provenance of the magazine-clipping source image for Gerhard Richterís 1965 painting Three Sisters, which had up until then been a mystery, even to the artist. The girls were in fact the three Danish princesses Margrethe (now Queen Margrethe II), Benedikte, and Anne-Marie. That newly topical work was brought to Copenhagenís Louisiana Museum of Art along with 80 others for the first comprehensive show in Denmark devoted to Richter, and this catalogue now provides an inviting overview of the important German artistís career. It also explores questions about the imagery from which Richter draws, which includes apparently anonymous material from newspapers and magazines, as well as snapshots by the artist himself and others. In addition to reproductions of his paintings, both figurative and abstract, this volume contains a biography, essays, and a selection of photographs of Richter from 1967 to 1999 by Manfred Leve.
