{"product_id":"gerhard-richter_atlas-1997","title":"Atlas: Photographs, Collages, and Sketches","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Atlas\" is a collection compiled by Gerhard Richter from the early 1960s, consisting of photographs, newspaper and magazine clippings, sketches, and collages that he continuously collected and arranged. It contains a large volume of pre-artwork images, including family photos, landscapes, news photos of wars and politics, and materials and concepts for paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Richter, \"Atlas\" was not merely an archive; it was also a space for him to search for painting motifs, consider the relationship between photography and painting, and construct possibilities for creation. While some photographs were actually developed into paintings, it also includes ideas that were never realized, accumulating the creative process itself as a single work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is the English edition published in 1997 by D.A.P. (Distributed Art Publishers).\u003cbr\u003eCo-published with Anthony d'Offay in London and Marian Goodman in New York, it is David Britt's English translation of the German edition, \"Atlas der Skizzen, Fotos und Collagen.\" It includes 392 pages of \"Atlas\" from before later expanded editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy following the photographs and sketches chronologically, one can simultaneously observe Richter's paintings from the 1960s onward and the accumulation of images that lay behind them. This book traces the very process of selecting, arranging, and developing images into different works, a process often difficult to discern from only the finished pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Title] Atlas: Of the Photographs, Collages and Sketches\u003cbr\u003e[Publisher] D.A.P. \/ Distributed Art Publishers\u003cbr\u003e[Publication Date] 1997\u003cbr\u003e[Page Count] 392 pages\u003cbr\u003e[Size] Approx. 238 x 235 x 35mm \/ 2640g\u003cbr\u003e[Format] Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e[Language] English\u003cbr\u003e[Title Reading] Atlas\u003cbr\u003e[Author\/Editor] Gerhard Richter \/ Author, Lenbachhaus Munich \/ Editor, David Britt \/ English Translation, Nicholas Baker \/ English Edition Coordinator, Kühle und Mozer \/ Design\u003cbr\u003e[Photographs] Lenbachhaus Munich, Jörg Koopmann, Ernst Jank, Marianne Franke\u003cbr\u003e[Installation Photographs] Gerhard Richter Archive\u003cbr\u003e[Printing\/Binding] Kölner Medienfabrik \/ Printing and Binding\u003cbr\u003e[Production] Oktagon Verlag\u003cbr\u003e[ISBN] 9781881616887 (ISBN 1-881616-88-6)\u003cbr\u003e[Condition] Used [5] Good (Cover slightly repaired for tear, edges slightly soiled)\u003cbr\u003e[Accessories] -\u003cbr\u003e[Featured In] -\u003cbr\u003e[Related Exhibitions] -\u003cbr\u003e[Co-published by] Anthony d'Offay, London \/ Marian Goodman, New York\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGerhard Richter (1932–)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Dresden, Germany, in 1932. Painter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe moved to West Germany in 1961 and studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. In the 1960s, along with Sigmar Polke and others, he was involved in a movement called \"Capitalist Realism,\" beginning to create paintings based on photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe developed different techniques in parallel, such as photo-paintings with blurred images, abstract paintings, color charts, and glass works. He repeatedly explored the relationship between photography and painting, documentation and memory, and figuration and abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround 1962, he began creating \"Atlas,\" organizing photographs, newspaper clippings, and sketches. It is positioned not only as source material for his works but also as an independent work that demonstrates Richter's creative process and thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u0026lt; Related Figures \u0026gt;\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigmar Polke\u003cbr\u003eKonrad Fischer\u003cbr\u003eStädtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus\u003cbr\u003eMarian Goodman\u003cbr\u003eAnthony d'Offay\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RICHTER Gerhard \/ ゲルハルト・リヒター","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44681615573034,"sku":null,"price":26000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/4280\/0938\/files\/gerhard-richter_atlas-1997_01.jpg?v=1786343401","url":"https:\/\/bunbuku.tokyo\/en\/products\/gerhard-richter_atlas-1997","provider":"文福","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
