| Summary: | "Gerhard Richter's most recent artists book featuring twenty-six new works illuminates the newfound urgency and prominence that Richter has placed on method and technique in drawing "[Richter's drawings] are of stringent individuality and recognizably by Richter's hand, not based on their signature style but rather because they make their theme the act of drawing itself, gauging the conditions of drawing." - Dieter Schwarz In this new body of work, Richter combines various elements from a limited set of forms and techniques-including meandering lines, broad tonal planes applied with angled strokes of graphite, and passages of smudging, hatching, and erasure-thereby uniting choice and chance through this infinitely generative process. The resulting works on paper serve as condensed expressions, encapsulating and refining the fundamental principles that have consistently defined Richter's artistic journey. A distinct work of art, this publication not only encourages in-depth observation of drawing but also inspires a compelling reimagining of abstraction"-- Provided by publisher. |
