Gerhard Richter: Atlas: The Reader

Gerhard Richter: Atlas: The Reader

Gerhard Richterâ€™s ongoing, encyclopedic Atlas project began in 1964, and now comprises more than 5,000 gridded photographs, diagrams, drawings and sketches. As an image archive, work tool and artistâ€™s book, Atlas sits at the very heart of Richterâ€™s practice, offering a massive summation of his masterful explorations of the tensions between photography and painting, history and memory, perception and representation. As a publication, Atlas has gone through numerous editions, each new volume expanding on the previous with elaborations of persistent themes. This book provides a critical tool for navigating Atlas, bringing together Richterâ€™s own writings alongside commentaries by the art historians and curators Armin Zweite, Jean-FranÃ§ois Chevrier, Benjamin H.D. Buchloh, Lynne Cooke and Helmut Friedel. Originally published in 2003 to coincide with the Whitechapel Galleryâ€™s exhibition Gerhard Richter: Atlas, this updated edition also includes a review of the exhibition by Adrian Searle.
