Samenvatting:

Originally published to coincide with an exhibition in Florence, this book traces the life and work of the great German painter Gerhard Richter, born in Dresden in 1932, and charts the path he has traced in contemporary art, with particular reference to image processing and its limits or frontiers. The dissolution of the image, the theme of twelve paintings by Richter, was also the subject of the works and studies by seven other artists: Anthony Gormley, Roger Hiorns, Marc Breslin, Scott Short, Xie Nanxing, Lorenzo Banci and Wolfgang Tillmans use a range of different techniques to express their reflections on the present and future potential of art. This book includes essays, details and reproductions of the thirty works which are also included in the exhibition.
