Background information
"Gerhard RICHTER (*1932) is the most famous painter of our time. And that worldwide. His fascinating pictorial worlds are characterized by a unique originality and quality, in which abstraction and figuration merge and interpenetrate each other. This comprehensive illustrated book focuses entirely on the subject of landscape. This genre, to which he remained faithful for over sixty years, not only reveals a development in his painting style. The numerous works also reveal a genuine independence that makes him one of the most remarkable artists of our time. The book 'Landscahft' is an important and richly illustrated addition to the understanding of Gerhard RICHTER's art and opens up highly topical insights into the subject of nature and landscape in the 21st century."
