Atlas

This monumental publication maps the ideas, processes, life & times of one of the most important painters of the late 20th century. Conceived & closely editied by the artist himself, "Atlas" goes to theheart of Richter's work, presenting the photographs, drawings, and sketches that he has compiled or created since the moment of his creative breakthrough in 1962. The images presented here closely parallel, year by year, the subjects of Richter's paintings, revealing the orderly but open-ended analysis that has been so central to his art. This new edition supersedes the rare, out-of-print 1997 edition. Illus., 783 multi-image sheets, each in full page & in full color.
