{"product_id":"gerhard-richter-2","title":"Gerhard Richter","description":"Gerhard Richter (*1932) is an exceptional  personality  - not because his pictures are world  famous, but because he has demonstrated a new  approach to painting. His art masterfully moves  between abstraction and representation,  sensuousness and denial  - ambiv alent attitudes  which he demonstrated even in his early work.  Gerhard Richter's oeuvre overcomes the division  between abstract and representational art. His  pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of  colours and forms nor do they deliver an intact  p icture of reality. Richter is a sceptical artist who  questions the reality of his art even when the prime  subject of his paintings is the tangible. This applies in  particular to his door, curtain and window pictures  of the 1960s, which form the central foc us of this  volume. They stage a playful examination of the  illusory nature of art, which always questions what  painting shows or conceals. This lavishly appointed  volume is published to mark the artist's 85th  birthday.","brand":"Hirmer Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664678359076,"sku":"9783777428949","price":65.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783777428949.jpg?v=1777359695","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/gerhard-richter-2","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
