Gerhard Richter - Atlas

Edited by Helmut Friedel

These are largely ­photographic ‘images’ of various kinds which, along with other visual notes such as sketches and collages, have been entered in this 'Atlas'.
The photographs which Richter collects and makes provide him with models for paintings which reach a high degree of ‘stylisation’ before he goes in search of his own painting.
The present Atlas is in a revised ­version and format created by the artist, ­providing a single page for each panel.
The revised publication presents 733 panels, including the War Cut series, with a text by ­Helmut Friedel.
