Gerhard Richter. Landscapes

This catalogue focuses on the theme of landscape in Richter’s work. No genre has fascinated Gerhard Richter so consistently throughout his career as that of landscape. Ever since the 1960's, the artist has revisited and reprised its possibilities, creating black‑and‑white townscapes based on newspaper picture and amateur photographs, mountain and park scenes with heavy impasto, illusionistic seascapes in subtly gradated tones and paintings worked with abstract overpainting.
