A focused look at Gerhard Richter’s lifelong engagement with landscape, this volume traces over 60 years of the artist’s seascapes, sunsets, suburbs, and countryside views. Known for blending photorealism with abstraction, Richter often paints from his own photographs, softening forms with blurred brushwork or a squeegee’s drag to create his signature sense of motion and atmosphere.

Featuring a selection of landscape paintings—including works never before reproduced—the book offers insight into Richter’s evolving practice and the role of nature in contemporary art.

Gerhard Richter (born 1932, Dresden) is one of Germany’s most influential living artists, celebrated for his work across painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking. He lives and works in Cologne, Germany.
