Thanks to a recent gift from the private collection of Ingrid and Dr. George Böckmann, the Neues Museum in Nuremberg now boasts the world's third-largest collection of works by Gerhard Richter (born 1932). This monograph celebrates the Richter pieces newly added to the Neues Museum collection, and is published to accompany an exhibition, designed by the artist himself, of 28 of these paintings made between 1957 and 2003. The works included in this volume are representative of Richter's famously diverse range of favored subjects and techniques, comprising a thorough survey of the artist's decades-long exploration of the medium of painting. Notable works reproduced include "Forest Piece" (1965), a blurred snapshot painting, "Six Colors" (1966), a gridded color-panel abstraction and "Blanket" (1988), an overpainted version of "Hanged" from Richter's legendary cycle on the Red Army Faction.
