RICHTER, Gerhard (°1932)

A foundational work, key to Richter's continuing enterprise as an artist, ""Atlas"" documents the artist's collections of photographs culled from newspapers, magazines, commercial publications, and a vast array of other sources, broadening in scope from its beginnings in 1964, and supplemented with photos and drawings of his own. Designed by Richter himself, ""Atlas"" is an artist's book conceived entirely in visual terms, devoid of text apart from a paragraph of comment by Wouter Kotte on the back cover
