Gerhard Richter (1932-) is a skeptical artist who questions the reality of his art even when the prime subject of his paintings is tangibility itself. His pictures neither cultivate a modest interplay of colors and forms nor deliver an intact picture of reality, but rather move between abstraction and representation, sensuousness and denial.

This volume sheds new light on Richter's early creative years, offering insight into the ambivalent attitudes that persist throughout his oeuvre. His door, curtain, and window pictures of the 1960s form the central focus of this volume, and pieces of the last 15 years complement this overview of the artist's early oeuvre.
