Background information
"The book, 'Gerhard Richter. Images of an Era', provides a new look at the complexity of Gerhard RICHTER's pictorial world, in which the banal and the evil meet: the dreams and desires of the time, such as fast cars and new travel, personal memories, the oppressive past, current politics, and the trivial, yet meaningful, everyday objects of use.Content
'Gerhard Richter. Images of an Era' describes about 40 of the works of the Cologne-based artist and contains essays by the leading Richter experts as well as, as self-testimonies of the artist, previously unprinted letters and a conversation between Gerhard RICHTER and Uwe M. Schneede, the curator of the exhibition.The cycle October 18, 1977 (1988) on the death of the RAF members is of central importance for understanding the memory quality of the pictures from the 1960s. Richter's intensive preoccupation with this event concludes the group of works of paintings after photographs. The cycle, which comes to the Bucerius Kunst Forum in Hamburg on loan from New York's MoMA for the exhibition, experiences a new interpretation and location in Richter's oeuvre."
