ReviewsMr. Godfrey and Mr. Serota have marshaled together an impressive array ofintellectual talent for the task. They make wanting to comprehend Richter's massive oeuvre a wonderful invitation, Published on the occasion of Richter's major exhibition at the Tate, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is the first and most complete overview of one of the greatest artistic achievements of our times. Where previous monographs have focused on a single genre within the artist's vast output, this stunninglyillustrated survey encompasses his entire oeuvre, now stretching across more than a half-century of activity, including photo-paintings, abstracts, landscapes and seascapes, portraits, glass and mirror works, sculptures, drawings and photographs. It therefore stands as the definitive portrait of Richter's colossal accomplishment to date., Published on the occasion of Richter s major exhibition at the Tate, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is the first and most complete overview of one of the greatest artistic achievements of our times. Where previous monographs have focused on a single genre within the artist s vast output, this stunninglyillustrated survey encompasses his entire oeuvre, now stretching across more than a half-century of activity, including photo-paintings, abstracts, landscapes and seascapes, portraits, glass and mirror works, sculptures, drawings and photographs. It therefore stands as the definitive portrait of Richter s colossal accomplishment to date., If we take all style to be an imposition of the self on a subject, an act of violence, Richter is the ultimate pacifist painter. As soon as he threatens mastery, which he does unnervingly often, he withdraws from the act. Every time his painting appeared to resolve itself into something understandably Richteresque, the painter took to his heels and started again from a differentplace altogether., Tremendous... 50 years of work, from the early black-and-white history paintings to the rapturous still lifes of today. One sees as never before that this blur is always different, and always material to the picture's content., What emerges from Richter's experiments over the past five decades is a profound curiosity about what art and images can seize and represent, what truths and feelings can be captured in a picture on the surface of a canvas. The results might be enigmatic, but this is not a damnation of paint - it is a celebration, the doubt and uncertainty of dreams permeates not only his imagery but his painterly process itself: the micro-movement of blurring the photograph-based works with a soft brush performs doubt as tremor - and the macro-movement of scraping the squeegee's rubber flap across the abstract canvasperforms doubt as negation, Mr. Godfrey and Mr. Serota have marshaled together an impressive array ofintellectual talent for the task. They make wanting to comprehend Richter s massive oeuvre a wonderful invitation, the doubt and uncertainty of dreams permeates not only his imagery but his painterly process itself: the micro-movement of blurring the photograph-based works with a soft brush performs doubt as tremor and the macro-movement of scraping the squeegee s rubber flap across the abstract canvasperforms doubt as negation, The overriding emotion the work conjures up is intense doubt, both about the subjects being memoralised and the point of attempting to mark them in the first place, For Richter, the question of the paintable and the unpaintable is not a question of taboos or proscriptions, given or handed down, but rather an exercise of artistic conscience

SynopsisThe expanded edition of the definitive Gerhard Richter survey First published on the occasion of the major retrospective exhibition that opened at Tate Modern in 2011, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is the most complete overview of the artist's entire career to date. This stunningly illustrated survey encompasses works from the late 1950s to the present--photo-paintings, abstractions, landscapes, seascapes, portraits, color charts, grey paintings, glass and mirror works, sculptures, drawings and photographs--providing the definitive account of Richter's achievements. It also includes studio photographs, archival images and texts by an array of international critics and curators. This expanded edition of Panorama includes a new text by Mark Godfrey that covers works made since the 2011 exhibition, including the Strip , Flow and Birkenau paintings, as well as an updated chronology. With more than 300 illustrations, and an interview between Richter and Nicholas Serota, Director of Tate, this book remains the most comprehensive survey of one of the world's pre-eminent contemporary artists.
