Zusammenfassung
Born in Dresden in 1932, Gerhard Richter was first educated under the prevailing doctrine of Socialist Realism, but retrained after emigrating to West Germany, thus uniquely embodying the division of Germany during the Cold War. This volume takes a look at the unique work and artistic vision of Gerhard Richter.
