Synopsis
For a painter who has so successfully neutralized the declarative potential of his medium, Gerhard Richter has committed to print a surprisingly large amount of discussion on his work. Perhaps it is only natural that an artist whose painting incarnates the Cagean premise that there is nothing to communicate should be moved to address that fact over and over. For this reason, the first edition of Richter's writings, The Daily Practice of Painting (published in 1993 by MIT Press) was an especially compelling collection, gathering the speculations of an artist profoundly involved in states of doubt, uncertainty and negation. Edited by Hans Ulrich Obrist, it quickly became a basic text in all of the creative fields. For this new, complete edition of the writings, Richter has placed his private archive at the editor's disposal; most of the photographic material comes from this archive and has not been previously published. The volume begins with the artist's farewell letters to his teacher Heinz Lohmar in 1961, is augmented with 15 unpublished texts from 1962 to 1993, as well as texts from the past 14 (highly productive) years of his career, and closes with an interview on his contribution to the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007. In between are public statements on specific exhibitions, private reflections drawn from personal correspondence, answers to questions posed by critics and journal excerpts discussing the intentions, methods and subjects of his works from various periods. At more than 600 pages (the first edition was only 288), it is without doubt the essential companion to Richter's colossal oeuvre. Gerhard Richter was born in Dresden in 1932. His first solo show was in 1964 at Galerie Schmela in D sseldorf. Today he is ranked among the world's greatest painters., For a painter who has so successfully neutralized the declarative potential of his medium, Gerhard Richter has committed to print a surprisingly large amount of discussion on his work.

    Shipping was better than I thought it was gonna be. It was packaged correctly and safe with bubble wrap. they gave her extra layer protection. It was exactly what it was prescribed to be in the condition it was said and I did save money on it so it was a good value. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for items from the seller. Thank you so much. looking forward to doing more business in the future with you

    A brand new sealed OOP CD was purchased on 10-21, shipped on 10-24, and delivered by USPS Media Mail on 10-31. Item received was new as described and pictured in the listing and was professionally packaged for shipping. CD was placed between two pieces of cardboard, then over wrapped in a layer of bubblewrap, and finally sealed in a plastic envelope. The receipt of CD in great condition, the care in packing, seller's offer, and fast shipping and delivery made for a great purchasing experience.
