In this expansive and authoritative overview, Armin Zweite leads readers through every phase of Richter's celebrated career including his early artistic education in East Germany and his later prolific output in West Germany: the black and white photo paintings, the brilliantly conceived colour charts and lush, inscrutable grey paintings, installations with glass and mirrors, his landscapes, portraits, and still lifes, and his monumental abstract paintings, which broke records at auction.Also included are selections from Richter's larger-scale thematic works, such as Atlas, his ongoing collection of photographs and newspaper clippings, and October 18, 1977, a series of paintings commemorating the lives and deaths of members of a German left-wing terrorist group. The beautiful plates sections feature exquisite reproductions of more than 250 of his most famous works, including Ten Large Colour-charts (1966), Annunciation after Titian (1973), Faust (1980), Skull with Candle (1983), Funeral (1988), Strip (2012), and Double Gray (2014). Throughout, Zweite's clear-eyed commentary offers an expert appraisal of the breadth of Richter's oeuvre. This six-decade monograph of Richter's work is a visually stunning and articulate appreciation by one of the world's foremost experts on the artist and his life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736758067473,"sku":"NGR9783791386515","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3791386514.jpg?v=1751431902"},{"product_id":"francis-bacon-book-armin-zweite-9780500093351","title":"Francis Bacon","description":"Francis Bacon (1909–1992) was renowned for his dramatic depictions of the human form; he portrayed the ordeal of the vulnerable, defencelessly exposed body like no other artist of his generation. At the centre of this volume are about sixty of Bacon’s disturbing yet captivating studies of the human figure, encompassing works from the late 1940s until his death. Texts by a range of experts on the artist offer new insights into these radical and often discomfiting images, so brilliantly reproduced on the pages of this book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49766880477457,"sku":"GOR006085442","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52625541071121,"sku":"GOR011901917","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0500093350.jpg?v=1750782603"},{"product_id":"barnett-newman-book-armin-zweite-9783775707954","title":"Barnett Newman","description":"Barnett Newman discovered his mode of expression in 1948, after painting \"Onement I\". With its large homogenous colour fields interrupted by vertical strips (his \"zips\"), Newman proposed the sublime picture that illustrates nothing and symbolizes nothing. In this volume, Armin Zweite presents and analyzes key works from all the various phases of Barnett Newman's creative output. Besides offering an interpretation of Newman's paintings and graphic works, Zweite also comments on all the sculptures individually. By taking Newman's painted, plastic and graphic works together, this study conveys a differentiated insight into the artist's work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50136788959505,"sku":"CIN3775707956G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3775707956.jpg?v=1751317834"},{"product_id":"ed-ruscha-book-armin-zweite-9783941263574","title":"Ed Ruscha","description":"The oeuvre of the American artist Ed Ruscha is difficult to categorise. On the one hand, his early depictions of company logos, gas stations and department stores are attributed to Pop Art. On the other, based on his painted word pictures and published prints of photographic images, he is primarily perceived as a conceptual artist.If his photo series document the popularity of everyday architecture, the pictures - in which text and image are intersected or superimposed - unmask the banality and the thematic emptiness of the emblems of the commercial and advertising world.The works of painted or overpainted books and the depictions of old volumes with empty pages can be seen as the artist's commentary on the book as a potential carrier of information. At the same time, they point to the information overload that today's reader is subject to.This title features Ed Ruscha's books, photographs and pictures from the Udo and Anette Brandhorst collection in Munich, and introduced here to the public for the first time.English and German text.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51062646997265,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51062649848081,"sku":"NIN9783941263574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3941263579.jpg?v=1751253998"},{"product_id":"becher-bernd-hilla-typologien-book-armin-zweite-9783829600927","title":"Becher Bernd \u0026 Hilla - Typologien","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52622826012945,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52622826078481,"sku":"GOR014566487","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783829600927.jpg?v=1761612911"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-armin-zweite.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
