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 color charts and lush, inscrutable gray 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 \u003ci\u003eTen Large Color-Charts \u003c\/i\u003e(1966), \u003ci\u003eAnnunciation after Titian\u003c\/i\u003e (1973), \u003ci\u003eFaust\u003c\/i\u003e (1980), \u003ci\u003eSkull with Candle\u003c\/i\u003e (1983), \u003ci\u003eFuneral\u003c\/i\u003e (1988), \u003ci\u003eStrip\u003c\/i\u003e (2012), and \u003ci\u003eDouble Gray\u003c\/i\u003e (2014).
