This landmark publication pays fitting tribute to one of the world's most celebrated living artists.

Over the course of a career that has spanned five decades, Gerhard Richter, born in 1932 in Dresden, East Germany, has been celebrated for helping to liberate painting from the legacy of Socialist Realism and Abstract Expressionism. Published on the occasion of his major exhibition at Tate Modern, Gerhard Richter: Panorama is the first and most complete overview of his vast creative oeuvre.

Whereas previous monographs have focused on a single genre of the artist's output, this stunningly illustrated survey covers Richter's extraordinary range of styles in its entirety — photo-paintings, abstracts, landscapes and seascapes, portraits, glass and mirror works, sculptures, drawings, and photographs. Gerhard Richter: Panorama therefore stands as the definitive portrait of Richter's colossal accomplishment to date.

Alongside his celebrated abstractions, early black-and-white paintings, and photorealist depictions of candles, skulls, and clouds (now indisputable icons of modern painting), the book includes nearly 30 new paintings made over the past 10 years, extensive comparative works, studio photographs, archival images, and a substantial interview with the artist conducted by Nicholas Serota.

Editors — Nicholas Serota and Mark Godfrey.
